App Development

[phuebs]

I thought I posted this last night....but it disappeared.

I'm super new to FM and this question will prove it--

I created a database that I would like others to share and use. How do I make that database a standalone App that anyone can use on his/her computer WITHOUT needing FM on the computer.

Thanks

You'll need the 'Advanced' version of FileMaker Pro

[phuebs]

so once I get advanced, is it terribly hard to create an app from a database then?

[hbrendel]

No.

Keep in mind that the apps you'll make will be single-user. No network!

[phuebs]

So I have to create two different versions, one for Mac and one for PC, right? My database runtime App I create on my Mac will not be able to cross over for PC?

Yes, you have to create them on each platform. If you have an Intel Mac, and a full copy of Windows, you can run it in Boot Camp, or buy Parallels Desktop to run it.
