I use FileMaker in a server-client configuration. Currently there are 5 clients connecting to one server instance of FileMaker. We have multiple databases being served, from contacts to truckloads to mileages to costs. We cover about 40 loads a day and every load has a plethora of information listed about it. There is, of course, supporting information as well. As for web factors, there currently aren't any. We are looking into allowing clients to connect from outside the network, but currently we have 5 employees with copies of FileMaker Pro 6 running on their machines and using a database being served off one central machine that also runs the active directory and some accounting functions. I would be more than happy to provide more information.
