[AccessD] FileMaker Pro

I had to deal with it years ago, Rocky, so my information is out of
date.  That said, I've never seen a decent database built in FileMaker.
Mac people have always found it "intuitive" and the PC people I've know
always found it a nightmare, especially when trying to move data back
and forth.  They used to let you download and install a trial version of
the thing, so that might be your best bet.  I did that a few years back
out of curiosity and couldn't get rid of it fast enough!  I can't recall
if it even had a scripting language but I believe it did have macros.

Dear List:

I have a potential project with a guy who wants me to create a rather
large application in Filemaker Pro.  He's a Mac guy and so has that
orientation.
Filemaker is cross platform and he likes that.

Has anyone had any experience with Filemaker?  Advantages/disadvantage
vs.
Access?
