Summary: Of Very Little Help
Review: This book is soooo vague about virtually ALL of the filemaker functions, it's vitually useless to anyone who wants to create ANYTHING but the VERY BASIC of Filemaker layouts.
Rating: 
Summary: Just another basic book!
Review: This is just another in a long string of basic books. Not much different than the FileMaker Bible. No inight into proper database design, nothing on multiuser considerations, nothing on using FileMaker Server, or how to use FileMaker with MS Office. The book even say's that ODBC is beyond the scope of the book! Some companion! You can find the same information in the FileMaker manual or the on-line help.

Summary: Not very useful - stick with the included user manual
Review: Was this book written just to make a buck? It doesn't go beyond the user manual that much at all. Where's a good section on using FileMaker plugins? Using ODBC? Bringing databases to the Web? Embracing standards such as XML and JDBC? No where is where! This book should be avoided by people who already use FileMaker Pro and anyone who wants to use it in a networked environment. I wish I could recommend a "Complete" reference, but I don't think one exists yet.
