It being a "runtime" means that it is a Filemaker Pro file that can run without Filemaker Pro. Actually, a stripped version of FMP comes as part of the package, but it will run nothing but the files it is mated with, or "bound" to. I'll pack it up and send it along in a bit. Bill Holt

Harry- Not sure if you got an answer on your database question, but here's an idea. Bento 2 from FileMaker. It doesn't allow importing of db files from AW, unfortunately. I bought the first version thinking it would. (lesson learned - ask questions and read the fine print) I haven't boug

Harry: I use filemaker, but for lists, I think that Microsoft Excel would do just fine, and it is not too difficult to learn the basics. And the best part is that you already have the program, so it will not cost you anything- it is part of Microsoft Office. Another advantage, you can tra

Thanks Jonathan and Alan, I happen to have FileMaker Pro 7.1a on my iMac right now. I just never have gotten around to using it. I use AppleWorks. A couple of questions: If I create a pdf with my database (FMP) will it be searchable? The web publishing I won't worry about until I get some of t

Apple Works was at one time Mac/Win. It has a database in it. I am not sure if it will do what you want as far as the web. You could possibly find a copy of the windows version on ebay. Brian O'Neal On Aug 26, 2006, at 3:16 PM, Anne Cartwright wrote: I?m going to be putting together a data

Using FileMaker for this depends on whether you think $300 is inexpensive. Probably not, I would think. Anne, The upside is it exactly fits your need. You can manage your data six ways to Sunday in the most user-friendly pro level database development environment in existence. It's a piece

I?m going to be putting together a database of material of interest for a collectors club to which I belong. What I?m hoping to find is something that will be of use to both Mac and Windows users. (Yes I know the new Mac will do both; but I don?t do Windows.) And I?d like to have something that
