However none of these suited by intension of using an existing FileMaker Pro database.įortunately this Quick Start screen has both a recent and favourites sections for existing databases. A conversion module is provided to allow you to work with an existing file such as one created in Excel or consisting of tab delimited or comma separated data. The program’s Quick Start feature allows you to create a new database from scratch or use one of the supplied Starter Solutions that cover a mixture of home and business topics. However before taking a look at these features, my first consideration when using any new versions of FileMaker Pro is how it handles my existing databases previously created and regularly accessed in earlier editions of the software. My review is based on the Windows based version of FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced software.Īs you expect with a new version of a well established product, there are some new features while others have been enhanced. By coincidence (otherwise my discovery would have had no significance) the latest version of FileMaker Pro, now up to version 11, arrived shortly after my re-acquaintance with this earlier copy of this database software that is available for both the Mac and Windows platforms.
This was version 3.0 of the product (it came on floppy disks rather than optical media) and it was my introduction to the database functionality offered by FileMaker. Recently, during one of my infrequent tidying up sessions, I came across an old copy of FileMaker Pro software.
