New, Factory Sealed, Retail Box
FileMaker Pro 8.5 is
the new version of the world's best-selling, easy-to-use database
software for Mac OS X and Windows users. The application provides you
with world-class tools to manage, customize and share your information
about people, projects, and assets on a network or over the Internet. In
fact, FileMaker Pro 8.5 revolutionizes the way you interact with data
online, letting you incorporate live web pages in records in your
database and take advantage of up-to-the minute information from the
web. This is an upgrade version only. A previous version of Filemaker
is required.
Putting the Web and
Your Network to Work
The most advanced version of the industry-leading database application
to date, FileMaker Pro 8.5 lets you add a live Web browser window to any
database layout as easily as you bookmark a Web page. Since FileMaker
automatically updates the information on the fly, your database remains
current, without any searching or browsing necessary on your part.
Your information is
even more valuable when you can share it. With the cross-platform,
multi-user network support, you'll be able to share FileMaker
information over a network with up to five simultaneous Windows users,
Intel-based Mac users or PowerPC Mac users. And the program's Instant
Web Publishing lets you share FileMaker information over the Web --
giving your team secure access to the information they need anytime,
anywhere via a browser. If you have remote offices, clients or vendors
that need anytime, anywhere access to your FileMaker information, you're
in business.
Easy Set-up and
Programming
With FileMaker Pro's easy-to-follow on-screen, step-by-step
instructions, you'll be up and running in a matter of minutes. Whether
you want to organize a home library or your company's inventory tracking
system, FileMaker not only meets your every needs but offers an
application that's easy to set-up, easy to learn and easy to use. In
fact, FileMaker Pro 8.5 comes with its own Learning Center -- complete
with 28 QuickTime video tutorials -- that lets novices and FileMaker
experts alike tap into the richest features of the application.
When it's time to start
working, converting your data couldn't be easier. Just drag your Excel
files onto the FileMaker icon on your desktop, and the information will
import automatically. FileMaker can also import many different file
formats so there's no need to re-key your information. Searching,
sorting, and reporting is also easier than ever. When you need to create
daily project lists, weekly sales reports, monthly newsletters or
mailing labels, FileMaker produces what you want, sorted the way you
want. Plus, you can save your output to Adobe PDF or Microsoft Excel
formats, and send it via email in seconds.
Thanks to FileMaker's
robust toolset, you can create your own database in minutes, complete
with your company logo and custom name fields. In fact, you can
customize almost every area of FileMaker to work the way you do, so
you're not forced to manage your information in a pre-set way. And by
providing you with pre-defined Web addresses for some of the most
popular, information-rich web sites on the Internet -- e.g., FedEx,
MapQuest Maps, Google search and Wikipedia -- FileMaker Pro 8.5 makes it
simple to add Web-based content to your database.
Storing Your Data
Got data? FileMaker Pro 8.5 lets you store virtually any type of file,
including Word files, movies, pictures, and PDFs. Sharing the
information in your FileMaker databases is also a breeze. Once you've
built your data base, it couldn't be easier to print invoices, letters
and mailing labels; produce reports in PDF or Excel formats; create
customized electronic forms that look just like your paper forms; e-mail
the contents of virtually any field with a single click and view live
Web information associated with your data from within FileMaker.
Best of all, the
programmers behind FileMaker Pro 8.5 know that you've got important
things to do. You shouldn't have to spend your valuable time on rote
tasks. FileMaker Pro 8.5 includes dozens of features that simplify and
automate operations -- from faster searching and sorting to easy
creation of email newsletters and pre-programmed functions. The program
also comes with a powerful scripting language so you can automate
repetitive tasks. You can also use the Email Merge feature that lets you
send e-mails to one or many contacts in a few simple steps without
scripting. Add merge fields from your database for added
personalization, and automatically add attachments if you need to. This
feature is great for email newsletters, news updates, and more.
Other advanced features
will let you get real-time information from the Web that is associated
with your data without having to open a Web browser. You can track every
shipment from within FileMaker, view detailed maps to your customers
locations, even get the latest prices on products you're researching
delivered to you automatically. You can easily add calendar drop downs,
data entry value lists, and hundreds of other built-in programming
functions to save data entry time and automate repetitive tasks.
