FileMaker Solution Framework?

[HarryGlos]

I recently downloaded the new "FileMaker Solution Framework" from the FileMaker Web sight. I would like to know what you think about it as a template to build a custom solution. Comming from FileMaker I know it has to be an excellent solution. But is it what you would use as the starting point for desinging your own custome solution?

Thanks for your input.

First, you must do an analysis of the business issues you want the database to address.

Second, you must construct a paper model of what you're intending with the appropriate relationships among files identified.

Third, then and only then can you answer the question of whether these templates are right for your situation.

I recommend your getting the Coulombre book from Amazon: Special Edition Using FIleMAker Pro 5. It deals with these issues at great lengyth.

Don't give FM too much credit...I believe the Framework belongs to John Mark Osborne of www.databasepro.com fame and it is so good that FM stuck it out on its website.

You also have to factor in the learning experience and the time necessary to modify someone else's scripts and techniques. From my looking at it, it is a very complete and sophisticated solution.

Where on the FMI site is this "framework" found?

Thanks

I think it can be found with the other templates

Fitch I like the "Ratings? Who cares about ratings?" very much

Vaughan will be happy

Shhhhh! I'm ignoring Fitch's inappropriate attention-getting behaviour.

I know it is hard to please you and you are not falling for cheap tricks

I am going to bed -- do you have morning there?

I'm having lunch! Home-made Thai Mussaman curry with jasmine rice -- leftovers fom last night. Yummmmmmy!

The framework looks very cool, but it keeps crashing, as in locking up my Mac completely when I get into the preferences. I'm pretty sure the Menu file is the culprit, or the Setup. Anyone else had problems?
