Identify unused fields

[Pedro]

In my company we have a database with more then 700 fields. This database was made by a person that isn't a system engenier or something like this and it has many inconsitences. I'm remodeling this database and I think because this system is contantily being modified it has many fields that aren't being used(fields that aren't on any layout or aren't used on relatioships or aren't used on other

calculated fields formulas).I found at www.wavesinmotion.com a plug-in called Analyzer Pro that show me this unused fields and it costs $295. Does FileMaker 5.5 or FileMaker Developer have any

application that show me this unused fields automatically? If doesn't have, do you think it would be a good idea to buy this plug-in???

Thanks...

Analyzer Pro is a fantastic application and a great buy at that price. Even if you were a Windows-only shop and had to buy an iMac/iBook to run Analyzer it is still a great bargin. It will likely save you it cost on the first job that you need it to do.
