Hello

My company is looking into a database solution for the majority of our inner office forms and memos etc. I have been researching FMP and was wondering about the functionallity of FMP Unlimited.

Of particular interest is whether a user accessing the database from the web is able to create, modify, and delete records on the database or whether the database can only be used to view data and perform searches. We need to have a database where clients can create records without having a local copy of the application on their desktop.

In addition, what is the quality of the layouts in web form? If you make a layout in FMP, how good is its representation on the web page? When you print the web page is it equivallent to a *.pdf of the form or are text fonts and sizes dependent on the web browser?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can do all those things.

"... When you print the web page is it equivalent to a *.pdf of the form or are text fonts and sizes dependent on the web browser?"

FileMaker can only do what you normally can do in designing a web page, i.e., unless you use a pdf, a web page will always depend on the platform/browser/user settings in displaying a page, stylesheets or not. Or you could try putting a Flash front end on it... anyone ever tried that with FileMaker ?

I've seen a demostration of a FileMaker DB providing data to a Flash application through XML, during an FSA Conference here in Sweden. It looked really nice, the language you use in Flash seems to give you great control over the content...

Flash and FileMaker should be a great combo, I just hadn't thought about it much or seen it. Whereas I've seen several books with chapters devoted to Flash/PHP.
