It is disgustingly hard to change anything from a users side without being a very computer savvy programmer. it is sound in its structure, does not crash, does not loss data and once it is programmed it is pretty easy to use.Ĭontras: It has become so complex, that even after paying $1,000 for a three day training on how to use all the latest necessary features to program the the program, I am incapable of doing it myself. It is a strong relational database program able to handle the largest most complex tasks. i have used the program since it's infancy. I am one of the very first users of this database program. Puntos a favor: My wife did the very first PR release in the 1980's of Claris FileMaker when it was first created for market. I hardly ever use it anymore it has become so difficult to deal with and disfunctional. I used it more than MSWord, or a spread sheet. i used this program as my primary app on my computer. It is used as my letterhead, for printing labels for mailings, for record keeping as I communicate with hundreds of potential clients, invoicing, contracts and so much more. 'Filemaker - no longer user friendly - will be forced to retire it'Ĭomentarios: When I started using the program, I watched two videos created by MacAcademy and was quickly able to do countless things with the program.
