On the right is the Help section giving you the choice of viewing various tutorials, running a hands-on tutorial or visiting the FileMaker Forum and benefitting from advice from the many users of this product. Taking up a central position is a list of recently opened FileMaker files and/or favourites.
But enough of the past, it is time to concentrate on the latest version of this database product which is FileMaker Pro 12.įollowing the pattern established with previously releases of the product, FileMaker Pro 12 opens with an option box that is split into three sections. Actually the “floppy” reference of these rigid units was a throwback to the earlier 5.25-inch disk format that would bend if you waved them in the air. In those days the product was supplied on three HD 3.5-inch floppy disks.
However it was not until version 3 of the product that I started using FileMaker Pro as my database software. I can still remember my initial introduction to the first version of this database software. It is not often that you get a product developed by an Apple company (Claris) for the Windows platform (QuickTime being one exception). FileMaker Pro has a long and slightly unusual pedigree.
