Summary: Good Guide to Using FileMaker Pro
Review: A complete guide to using all the features of FileMaker Pro. Lots of illustrations of both Mac and Windows versions. Good explanations of how things work. And the book is organized so much more logically than the manual that comes with the software! But the best part is the tutorial exercises at the end of each chapter. They really helped me get some hands-on practice using the program's features. RECOMMENDED!

Summary: FileMaker Pro Companion
Review: File Maker pro companion is a wonderful book and is laied out very well, it compliments nicely with the user manuals that are included with filemaker pro 5, and also adds some tips and techniques that are not discussed in the manuals

Summary: Look further if you need information beyond the manual
Review: If your an experienced Filemaker user, this book is not going to hold much attraction for you. However, for those who are new to the filemaker world, or perhaps those who have used filemaker but not made use of its more powerful features, this could be the book for you. So while the promotional text for this book might claim its good for all levels of users, I would say that is an overstatement. Some of the areas where the book excels would include its information on web publishing and security. If your hoping to unlock the power of Filemaker pros scripting ability, then this volume will fall short of the mark. I would suggest "Scriptology" for that need.Also to the books credit is its appropriate use of screen shots (from both platforms) to make things clear. In short, a well written volume with general information that is appropriate for the novice or beginning intermediate user.

Summary: FileMaker Pro 5 Companion
Review: Knowing FileMaker Pro from before, this book was great in assisting me to do specific things that I could not remember how to accomplish. It was very straight forward, but I feel it requires a little bit of knowledge of FileMaker Pro 5. For those that are beginners, the readability of the book may be a little more complicated. Once you are used to the interface of Filemaker Pro 5, then this book should be a handy tool to get you through the hard times when you have no clue what to do next. I would highly recommend this book.

Summary: Look further if you need information beyond the manual
Review: This book has proved not so helpful to me as a novice filemaker user looking to gain knowledge on many of the not so well documented features. The writing could be much more precise and I cant help but beleive much of the book is "filler" and general commenting on the program itself, not actual useful information on how to make better databases.
