[AccessD] File Maker Pro vs. Access

Hi Everyone,

Just wondered if there were some opinions about developing in File Maker Pro 
vs. Access.  I have heard a few opinions on the topic in the past, but 
wondered if anyone out there has experience in both.

I'm supporting an application (backup support) that was written in File 
Maker Pro, and the users keep complaining that it runs really slowly around 
the first of the month(when they are the busiest)  Since the application was 
written by another company, I dont' have any rights to make changes. The 
company claims that everything is working great.......but the users of 
course aren't happy.

It seems that File Maker is opening every single module, even though the 
users may only be calling one portion of the program.  You can actually sit 
there and watch all of the screens load. There must be at least fifteen of 
them.  Just wondering if this is a File Maker standard type occurrence, or 
maybe just the way the programmer made things happen.

Any opinions?
