I remember in a thread a while back a couple SDMBers were extolling the virtues of FileMaker. I’m currently trying to decide on a programming environment for a project I’m doing, and FileMaker might be the ticket. Unfortunately, I can’t find the old thread, and I don’t remember who was talking about it.

Are there any FileMaker pros out there who’d be willing to answer me a few basic questions? If so, can you shoot me an email ([abadoozy@hotmail.com](mailto:abadoozy@hotmail.com)) or reply to this thread?

Thanks!

How deep of a knowledge base do you need. I’m no programmer, but I’m pretty good with basic FileMaker stuff.
