Oh, yes, they claim it's relational. If FileMaker is relational, pigs have wings, and always have had! It is still the database of choice for Macs, but then we all know how primitive Mac users are, right? <VBG> Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: Mackin, Christopher [mailto:CMackin at quiznos.com] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 6:51 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] Access vs. Filemaker Comparison Reference? RUN FOR THE HILLS! I recently finished a project that involved data being transfered between FileMaker Pro and Access. FileMaker Pro is HORRIBLE, you CANNOT uniquely identify a record, you can therefore figure out how good FileMaker Pro acts as a relatoinal database. I'm not even sure they claim to be a relational database, it's certainly THE choice if you want your database to look pretty. And this review is the polite version. -Chris Mackin -----Original Message----- From: Dan Waters [mailto:dwaters at usinternet.com] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 8:37 AM To: Database Advisors Subject: [AccessD] Access vs. Filemaker Comparison Reference? Hello to all! I may have an opportunity to work on a project where the company has part of what they need already done with a Filemaker database. Where could I find a comparison between the two databases? Thanks!
