El_Pablo Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Does anyone know when a new version FM will be out? Our company is planning to buy FM9 version, but since it's been out for a while maybe it would worth to wait for the next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Any one that knows the answer to that question, can not answer because they are under a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Pablo Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Okay... So let's say that a leak happens here in this post? hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceR Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 If you buy a volume license you get "maintenance" which means you get the next version automatically sent to you for free when it is available. Jump right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies TRNET Posted November 10, 2008 Newbies Share Posted November 10, 2008 It must be soon. Anyone want to speculate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Meh, just deal with what you got till what you got becomes less than what you ought to get. Aka, even when it's released, it will probably be crap until they release .01/.02/.03 Speculation is overrated, just leads to disappointment (sometimes unfounded).

Steve N Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I agree those who know can not say. Since I don't know I will predict FM 10 will be out in 2 weeks. It will solve world hunger and pay off the national debt. But it still wont have script triggers. Seriously Folks - this is odd.

Vaughan Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Is the new book called "X" because it's for FMP 10, or because the next version number is still NDA? What's really funny is that those who don't know, say anyway. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdealData Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Mmm... Pity, my maintenance expires in Dec/Jan. Not that I wouldn't renew if I did get "X" on this maintenance contract - just seems a little short changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalz Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Whatever they release, hope its more stable than 9, especially the printing as its caused me no end of grief..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Keefe Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I agree those who know can not say. Those who know can't even say that they know. Which makes it hard to even tell who knows. The only ones you know don't know are the ones who say they know. Since I don't know I will predict FM 10 will be out in 2 weeks. It will solve world hunger and pay off the national debt. But it still wont have script triggers. If I had to pick two out of the three features, I'd lose the script triggers anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Pablo Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'm about to order a volume license upgrade for FM 9. So from what I'm reading, if FM 10 is released in 2009, I should received the upgrade for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitch Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Anything released within the maintenance year, yes. By the way, for $99, TechNet members get access to pre-release software (among other things). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Pablo Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Do you think that the next version could be released at the Macworld? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitch Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 It could be, but then again it could not. Sorry but I do not know the release date, and those that do know are not at liberty to say.

El_Pablo Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) lol! There's no such people as FM sales rep in my "far far away" city. I might be one of the only DBA who works with FM in my city. Edited December 18, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitch Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 They travel around -- some of them may even have phones and email. You just have to let them know you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalz Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi El Pablo, I've got no idea when its out, but I got an public email newsletter earlier this week from FileMaker which had an invitation to evaluating a pre-release version. The evaluation was solely for marketing purposes - i.e. not for bugs etc...I guess once the press get hold of a copy to evaluate, it shouldn't be too long before its released. If you're a technet member it 'may' already be there? (I thought that was one of the advantages of technet) Jalz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumbachr Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 They travel around -- some of them may even have phones and email. You just have to let them know you're there. How does one fine they Rep to let them know you exist? I've only dealt with FM sales people over the phone. I'd like a chance to talk to someone in person if they're in town.

El_Pablo Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Here's where I'm located Map That's far far away for most sales rep! Most of them think we all live in igloos! Edited December 19, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
