You don't need to learn all about Filemaker to have
a Filemaker database. You have enough to do with your own business, let
alone learning the ins and outs of Filemaker. Why not let the experts
quickly set your database up for you so you can get on with your business, after
all, isn't that what you do best?
We are not the biggest or best
(or the most expensive) consultants, but we are easy to get along with and get the job done.
We specialise in fixing up existing FileMaker databases and of course we
can design a database from scratch.
We have over 23 years experience with FileMaker. (That's right I used
FileMaker 1 when it first came out in the mid 80s)
We are
FileMaker Consultants, Developers and Trainers based in Melbourne
but we have clients all over Australia.
If your
company has a FileMaker Pro database that is just not working properly,
we may be able to fix it so it works just like you want it to.
If you
need something special, we can create a perfect FileMaker solution that
does exactly what you want.
If you
need a FileMaker trainer, we can do that too. Sandy has a Masters Degree in
Education and taught computer learning at high schools around Australia.
We live and
work in Melbourne but often visit clients in Brisbane and
Sydney. If you are out of town give us a call or send an email and maybe we can help
you by phone. I have done lots of work via email and over the phone.
Several of
our clients have their database hosted in Sydney and access it over the
internet anywhere in the world. This way we can also work on it
anytime from our office in Melbourne.

FileMaker Upgrades Popular
Productivity Kit
Adds Web integration and enhanced
customisation;
available with free trial of FileMaker Pro 9
– FileMaker, Inc.
announced today the immediate availability of its upgraded Business
Productivity Kit (download it now at www.filemaker.com.au/bpk20_pr),
which is designed to help small businesses be instantly productive and
grow as the business grows. Improvements to the Business Productivity
Kit include integration with live Web data with the FileMaker Web
Viewer, improved layout design and increased customisation.
Small businesses can use
the Business Productivity Kit immediately for tracking customer
and vendor contacts, sales, product information, invoicing, shipping
and other key business data – all in one integrated database
solution. The kit also provides a “How to Build This Solution
Yourself” learning guide complete with sample graphics to assist
users in customising their database.
“The FileMaker Business Productivity
Kit provides a fast-track for getting productive in just minutes using
FileMaker Pro 9 and has been tremendously popular with small business
users since its introduction in 2005,” said Steve McManus, Regional
Manager – Asia Pacific, FileMaker, Inc. “With our upgraded
kit, users can now deploy our latest Web and customisation tools to
intelligently, quickly and easily manage all the data essential to
small business success.”
Using FileMaker’s Business
Productivity Kit, small businesses can:
- Manage contacts and companies
- Organise products and inventory
- Process sales orders
- Track projects and productions
- Send targeted mailings to customers
- Produce invoices, reports and mailing labels
The Business Productivity Kit is an
integrated set of business solutions (it manages contacts, e-mail,
inventory, projects and sales orders) with an easy-to-use Main Menu.
Each of the five solutions “talks effectively” to the other. The
kit eliminates the duplication of tables and fields normally
associated with having multiple files and is visually enhanced and
differentiated from the built-in FileMaker Pro 9 Starter Solutions.
Takes Advantage of New FileMaker Pro 9
The Business Productivity Kit
incorporates groundbreaking Web and ease-of-use features specific to
FileMaker Pro 9 to help users connect with live Web data, work faster
and customise with ease. With the FileMaker Web Viewer, users can now
connect directly to a contact’s Web site with a single click and
view a map to the customer’s location right on the contact record.
The new Conditional Formatting feature in the inventory module enables
users to receive a visual alert regarding important inventory details.
And using Auto Resizing, all forms will automatically adjust as your
window size changes.
FileMaker Pro 9 runs on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms
and its support for nearly all-major office applications, such as
spreadsheets, means that existing data can be easily imported to the
Business Productivity Kit. Less technically adept users can also
customise the solution further, for instance by adding specific
company information or custom navigation buttons. Because it is based
on FileMaker Pro 9, the Business Productivity Kit can also be shared
over the Web or over company networks.
How to download the Business
Productivity Kit and the free 30-day trial of FileMaker Pro 9
The kit requires the new FileMaker Pro
9 database software and is available at no cost when you download a

New FileMaker 9 Product Line Delivers 30
Ease-of-Use Breakthroughs including Live Connections to SQL Data
Innovative new FileMaker 9 PHP Site Assistant enables
non-programmers to create PHP-driven websites
SANTA CLARA, CA – July 10, 2007 – FileMaker today announced the
immediate availability of FileMaker Pro 9, ( http://www.filemaker.com/fm9_announce_pr
) a major new version of the most award-winning desktop database for
Windows and Mac OS.
The new FileMaker 9 product line, which the company called its most
dramatic new offering in years with over 30 ease-of-use
breakthroughs, is available today, and includes FileMaker Pro 9,
FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced, FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker Server 9
Advanced.
FileMaker Pro 9 includes many new features, for end users and
developers, to simplify creating, automating, sharing and reporting
from databases, including a new Quick Start screen for new users to
be quickly productive; Conditional Formatting, which highlights data
based on parameters the user sets; and the ability to email a link
to other FileMaker users, which they can click to instantly access
your database.
The new version also offers breakthrough easy-to-use tools so
FileMaker users and workgroups easily can connect to the world of
company and Web data residing in external SQL data sources: MySQL,
Oracle SQL and Microsoft SQL Server.
The new Server 9 products, which enable workgroups to share
databases over the network and the Web, come with a completely
modernized and streamlined Admin Console, so FileMaker Pro users can
easily set up and administer Server software.
“FileMaker is the acknowledged leader in easy-to-use database
software which empowers workgroups,” said Dominique Goupil,
president of FileMaker. “With FileMaker 9 we go further. We make
it easier than ever for developers and users to manage information
in amazingly productive and creative ways. For example, our goal is
to make FileMaker Server 9 so easy that FileMaker Pro customers can
install it in 20 minutes or less, and quickly share database
solutions.
”FileMaker 9 is perfect for innovative organizations who realize
the benefits of empowered self-service workgroups,” Goupil said.
Early Evaluator Customers and Developers Laud New FileMaker Pro 9
"The best part about FileMaker Pro 9 is that we can now develop
new layouts and interfaces in the fast, easy-to-use FileMaker
environment that we are completely comfortable with, without knowing
a lick of SQL, and we will be able to integrate our data with other
Oracle based products," said Lee Snover, president,
Technologies Plus, Inc ( www.tplus.com
), a FileMaker developer based in Bath, Pennsylvania.
Paul de Halle, development director at Linear Blue, (www.linearblue.com)
a FileMaker developer in London, U.K., comments: “The new
functionalities in FileMaker 9 will allow us to integrate the
database software with live data from other technology such as MySQL,
Oracle and SQL Server, which will prove to be a huge benefit to the
businesses we work with. Features such as the new Quick Start Screen
will enable us to improve the user experience making favorite
databases easier and quicker to access. In addition to all
this, the back-end technology has been simplified and will
ultimately enable us to build and customize solutions even quicker
for customers.”
“FileMaker 9 will make both our client’s data environment more
satisfying for them to use and our development timeframes
shorter,” predicted Frank Heinrichs President/Owner/Chief
Technical Officer of Sound Advice (http://www.soundadvice.net/), an
Apple Value Added Retailer and Small Office/Home Office automation
specialist in Costa Mesa, CA. “The ease of accessing data from the
Internet and being able to incorporate that information inside the
database are phenomenal. We have a client who will require the
new Conditional Formatting feature for tracking job status with his
shop, which will allow us to meet his requirements without any
workarounds.”
“FileMaker Pro 9 is another successful revision of a great
product,” said Todd Marchal, Applications Developer, Plastic
Technologies, Inc. ( http://www.plastictechnologies.com
), Holland, Ohio. “The new features build upon a solid foundation
of performance and ease of use. FileMaker Pro 9's External SQL data
connectivity will enable greater interoperability with other
software solutions. It is remarkably easy to use and provides a
means for utilizing the strengths of FileMaker with the strengths of
other data sources.”
Connect to the world of data in External SQL Data Sources
Using the new one-way or two-way live connectivity to popular SQL
sources, FileMaker Pro 9 users within any business or organization
can safely and securely create custom reports, add calculations and
other fields, and even build relationships with existing FileMaker
data – just using the easy-to-use tools of FileMaker Pro.
“Linking FileMaker Pro 9 solutions to the open source strengths of
MySQL will greatly empower the developer and user communities of
both product lines,” said Zack Urlocker, MySQL AB's executive vice
president of products.
With the new PHP features of FileMaker Server and FileMaker Pro 9
Advanced both users and Web developers can publish information to
external websites, gather information from Web visitors, and create
new solutions combining a Web-based front-end with a rich, FileMaker
Pro back-end.
Mac users of the new FileMaker products can connect to SQL sources
with the Actual ODBC Pack version 2.7, now available from Actual
Technologies LLC ( http://www.actualtechnologies.com

FileMaker Pro 7 helps you create powerful solutions to run your business or organize your home. The #1 selling easy-to-use database offers flexible templates for managing everything from recipes to a complex inventory tracking system. You can use these solutions right out of the box or customize them to meet your individual needs.
Be Productive Instantly
FileMaker 7 makes it even easier for people without a degree in IT to design advanced databases, with 30 starter solutions you can use right away or study to learn how the program works. FileMaker 7 lets you store any kind of files in your database, including Word files, movies, pictures and PDFs. This flexibility is great for centralizing assets and archiving projects. Or if someone sends you an Excel spreadsheet, just drop it on the Filemaker icon to instantly make a new database that lets you find and format information more easily.
Share With Anyone
You can easily share your FileMaker databases over a local network or even the Web, with no extra programming. FileMaker 7 offers more advanced security options, including the ability to use corporate passwords and user accounts to access databases. Both Windows and Mac users can enter data in the same FileMaker database. Or share your information in a more traditional way — FileMaker is the easiest way to create onscreen or printed reports. In fact, with Mac OS X, you can quickly create a PDF of your report to share with different departments or post online.
Elegant New Features
FileMaker Pro 7 also makes it easier to use the program’s relational capabilities. You can quickly see all the connections between fields with the new graph view. This view also lets you make connections between fields. The new version also lets you open multiple views into the same database, and preserves data integrity for you. Trying the same trick in more advanced SQL-based databases requires a heady amount of custom programming that’s simply not needed with FileMaker.
