New tools and templates for FileMaker

Pro

1 April 2005

Version 6 of the FileMaker Pro database software has a number of new templates and tools, as well as the ability to import large numbers of images from a folder into a database easily.

The software has an Extensible Markup Language (XML) import and export feature that allows it to integrate and exchange data with many applications, without the need for complex, costly data conversion between proprietary formats.

FileMaker Pro 6 users can retrieve data from XML-enabled Web applications, import accounting data from QuickBooks, or query corporate databases without using open database compliant (ODBC) drivers.

With its XML export capability, information can be shared with users of other applications; for example, exporting formatted FileMaker data in an e-mail or into Microsoft Excel, or document-authoring applications.

The Mac OS release of FileMaker 6 lets users capture digital images and image-data directly from cameras.

Version Pro 6 shares the same file format as FileMaker Pro 5 and 5.5, so FileMaker Pro 6 solutions work with FileMaker Server 5 and 5.5. The current FileMaker Server software supports FileMaker Pro 5, 5.5 and 6.

The database runs on Windows 2000, 98, NT 4.0 and Me (Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, or XP are required for certain features). It is also available on Mac OS X and Mac OS 8.6 through 9.2.
