FileMaker Pro Scripting

FileMaker Pro is a powerful and useful application that takes the headache out of keeping your business databases organized. Virtual Training Company's FileMaker Pro Scripting tutorial is perfect for gaining a more in-depth understanding of the actual use of scripts in real-world situations. It is highly recommended that you complete Virtual Training Company's FileMaker Pro 3/4 (ISBN#1889347450) or 5 (ISBN #1889347876) so that you will have a basic knowledge of File Maker and will be familiar with scripts and calculations. Author David Bylund gives a brief review of the fundamentals, then dives into specific scripts of the databases and their functions. The lessons are a series of interrelated databases so that you can see the big picture and how all the scripts fit together.
