Filemaker, why not make a client application with network capabilities that could add, delete and edit records that's all. Basically a filemaker without the programming and design functions for a very low price (below 50.00$) or even free, it could be called the Filemaker reader!

Let's face it people who need design and programming functions will buy the advanced version.

In the end, more people would use filemaker, they would sell more advanced & server versions.

Actually with that version they could skip entirely the FileMaker pro version.

What do you guys think?

This sounds like an excellent idea.

From the users point of view it removes a barrier to having ones solution developed in filemaker in the first place (inexpensive or no licence fees for new seats)and from Filemakers point of view it would promote sales of the more expensive developer software.

It certainly worked for Adobe with Acrobat but wether Filemaker will see it that way is another matter

Let us make some runtimes that have network capabilities then and sell us FMPro advanced more expensive. With the internet I don't practically make runtimes anymore.
