Newbie Question FMP Dev5 vs Excel

[garhop]

Am on the 30 Trail of FMP5 and considerinfg the Developer. Inasmuch as I cannot find a basic tutorial and there are no help files on the Trial, can't determin this for myself.

Have developed a Solution in Excel 2000 that I would like to distribute. Generally speaking, is there anything that can be created in Excel that can't be done in FMP5. This is a rather "Basic" Solution, read Not Heavy Programming. There are some "behind the scenes" formulae with the results showing in a "Printable Form".

Thanks

Gary
