Learn FileMaker® Pro 8.5 presents the fundamentals of the award-winning FileMaker Pro database program and distills the complexity of the program into a logical hands-on approach for both beginners and those who have experience with previous versions of FileMaker Pro. With this version, FileMaker Pro enhances the dramatically new and efficient approach to database management introduced in FileMaker Pro 7, giving the user even greater flexibility.

  • Use the alignment tools to quickly align objects on your layout.

  • Attach a calendar to a date field to efficiently enter dates.
  • Import tables and their data in a single step.
  • Save and send your reports as PDF or Excel files.
  • Organize information in different layers on a single layout using the Tab Control feature.
  • Export the contents of a field and attach it to an e-mail.
  • Use the Web Viewer to display information from the web inside your database.
