Jackie's question about the FileMaker user manual and/or which 3rd party book would be helpful raises a question I've had for a while. While not absolutely necessary, I think that folks 'getting under the hood' with ebase would have generally more pleasant and more productive experiences if they had a better grounding in how to use FileMaker. You don't need to be a certified FileMaker administrator (if any such thing exists) to add fields but there are a lot of ebase functions really force you to work with FileMaker terminology and interfaces. Does anybody have any experiences or thoughts about this...including disagreeing? Any sense for how much FileMaker training is sufficient for various levels of work with ebase? Where/how folks can get more experience with FileMaker in a more productive way than stumbling through edits to ebase? Any place online with a good FileMaker tutorial or free/cheap training module?
