FileMaker® Pro 4 Bible

Summary: This is a GREAT way to learn FileMaker!
Review: Filemaker Pro 4 Bible is an essential reference for the novice as well as more advanced Filemaker fan. It covers both the Windows and Mac versions and presents many difficult concepts in an easy to grasp manner. I highly recommend this book, its probably the only Filemaker book you'll ever need.

Summary: Not for the serious!
Review: I found this book too sophmoric with few answers to tough questions. Nothing on scripting and few examples of anything but mundane projects. Of all the aftermarket resources I have purchases for high-end software, this is one of the worst. It should be retitled "FM Pro for idiots".

Rating:
Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: I would'nt be here looking for other Filemaker manuals if I could recommend this one. Tedious, didactic and always fails to answer the question you're looking for.

Review: I've owned FileMaker from version 2.0 and never really got into it. I kept upgrading just to stay current but didn't feel ready to go beyond the basic address book in the manual. When I upgraded to Filemaker Pro 4.0 I decided I needed help and bought the FileMaker Pro 4 Bible. Boy, am I glad I did!

Through reading and working through the step-by-step examples I've actually learned to use FileMaker Pro 4 to create everything from simple to complex databases that have greatly simplified the day-to-day operations of my business and even my personal data.

Now I find myself overwhelmed with ideas for new databases but don't have the time to create them all, but I *do* have the skills. I'm very pleased with my investment in this book. It has paid off handsomely. Highly recommended!
