Doug Thomson Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 FileMaker Pro is a wonderfully intuitive piece of software, but that presents its own problem for plodders like me. It works so easily and nicely for most things, I've been using it without really understanding its power. I want to put an end to that and am looking for resources (books, etc.). However, my experience with reference books for other software has been mixed ... much mediocre, some good and little excellent. What do all you expert types recommend for FileMaker Pro 5.5 that fits the excellent category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitdcat Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 A book called Scriptology is well worth the purchase, and claims to improve your Filemaker knowlege by 160%. It is written by Matt Petrowsky and John Mark Osborn. I have also found www.databasepros.com to be an excellence resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I use 2 books: Filemaker pro demystified using filemaker pro 5 I think this 2 books are the best on the market. Try to understand the examples on the CD's. Don't buy beginner books because then you better use the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
