Analysing a database: Third party tool?

[garyfilemaker]

I am learning my way around Filemaker using developer v7. I have redesigned the same database twice. I realise I should have deleted unwanted fields as I went but I did not. Now I have a plethora of fields many of which are not used. I had supposed that Developer would have been able to report whether I had defined fields which were unused in layouts but this does not seem to be the case. Is there a third party tool that will do this?

TIA/gary

Have you tried the DDR of Developer?

Third Party tools that I am aware of are:

MetadataMagic from New Millennium http://www.nmci.com

Analyzer from Waves in Motion http://www.wavesinmotion.com

There is also Brushfire from Chaparral Software. These are all very different products, so you'll need to download the trial versions and play around.

Hi

Thanks for the feedback. Here is the state of play as I find it thismorning:

- New Millenium do not yet have a version of their product for FM v7

- Analyzer beta available for FM v7

- Brushfire v2.1 is apparently for Filemaker v5 and v6 but not FM v7
