However, if you're not reall in the position of a dedicated Filemaker developer, or your current solution doing everything you want, Filemaker 10 is fine. There are several significant improvements in Filemaker 11 even for the user however, most notably being Saved Finds, a new Inspector palette, a new Quick Find field (performs a Google-like search on you entire database in the one field) and a new Quick Reports tool in Table View. Are are many more improvements under hood as well, though many of them are refinements of features introduced in Filemaker 10. You can go to http://www.filemaker.com.au for full details. The really big thing with Filemaker 11 is that it s now a full Cocoa-based application. This has had an affect on the way some long-standing features work, but by and large it's the same package you're used to.
