FileMaker has also released new versions of FileMaker Server and Server Advanced, but I did not test the server products for this review. Nearly all of the features new in FileMaker 10 are shared between FileMaker’s two editions, so the features discussed in this review apply equally to both. That is why users who spend much of their time in FileMaker working as developers rather than end users will want to use the Advanced version. And since the two programs work identically, standard FileMaker Pro is no harder to use than FileMaker Pro Advanced in fact, the developer-oriented troubleshooting utilities available only in Advanced make solving problems easier.
FILEMAKER PRO DEVELOPERS PROFESSIONAL
Professional developers using FileMaker Pro on a secretary’s computer can do very nearly everything they could do on their own computers using FileMaker Pro Advanced. For one thing, there is no FileMaker basic-that is, no thin-client version of FileMaker that can be used to open and use shared databases, but not to create them. But the term “advanced” is somewhat misleading. FileMaker Pro Advanced provides a handful of utilities that developers will find very useful, including a script debugger a custom function editor, and the ability to create single-user standalone versions of databases.
