| FileMaker Pro 9: The Missing Manual is the clear, thorough
and accessible guide to the latest version of this popular
desktop database program. FileMaker Pro lets you do almost
anything with the information you give it. You can print
corporate reports, plan your retirement, or run a small
country -- if you know what you're doing. This book helps
non-technical folks like you get in, get your database
built, and get the results you need. Pronto.
The new edition gives novices and experienced users the
scoop on versions 8.5 and 9. It offers complete coverage of
timesaving new features such as the Quick Start screen that
lets you open or a create a database in a snap, the handy
"save to" buttons for making Excel documents or PDFs, the
multiple level Undo and Redo commands let you step backwards
through your typing tasks, and much more. With FileMaker Pro
9: The Missing Manual, you can:
Get your first database running in minutes and perform basic
tasks right away.
Catalog people, processes and things with streamlined data
entry and sorting tools.
Learn to use layout tools to organize the appearance of your
database.
Use your data to generate reports, correspondence and other
documents with ease.
Create, connect, and manage multiple tables and set up
complex relationships that show you just the data you need.
Crunch numbers, search text, or pin down dates and times
with dozens of built-in formulas.

Each chapter in the book contains "living examples" --
downloadable tutorials that help you learn how to build a
database by actually doing it. You also get plenty of sound,
objective advice that lets you know which features are
really useful, and which ones you'll barely touch. To make
the most of FileMaker Pro 9, you need the book that should
have been in the box.
