Talking about FileMaker: I lost track of its geneology. I hear talking
about FileMaker, FileMaker Plus, FileMaker II, FileMaker 4. Which is
which? Which is the most recent version? Which is best?
(Need to know before I buy)

FileMaker Pro, I believe? At least, I thought I saw a blurb for it
a few weeks ago... I'll try to dig it up.

FileMaker Pro is the newest version of FileMaker, and, from what I understand from the reviews, is a significant upgrade from FileMaker II, which was the version before it. The changes include being able to edit records in Layout mode, and a bunch of other things. I believe I saw it advertised by Mac Connection. FileMaker is a great program, but it can be a space-eater depending on what you use it for. Good luck!

Speaking again of Filemaker. Can anyone suggest a record format suitable for cataloging a personal library, consisting of several thousand fiction and non-fiction books, story collections, periodicals, and journal articles? If I could obtain an empty file set up this way, so much the better.

Which is the most recent version? Which is best? Claris bought FileMaker, and sells FileMaker II. FileMaker Pro is coming out Real Soon Now, but is not shipping yet. If you have to buy right now, I suspect that they'll have some kind of free upgrade, otherwise wait till you can get Pro.

It's free if you buy FileMaker II now. -- Syd Polk | Wherever you go, there you are. jazzman@claris.com | Let the music be your light. GO 'STROS! | These opinions are mine.

The best way that I can think of to do this in FileMaker is to select
"Columnar Report Layout" in the Dialog box that comes up when you create a new
layout. Then you will have a whole lot of records stacked horizontally,
sorted however you want. Then you could do something like Author's last
name/first name/title/date/item type (f for fiction, etc.) across the page.
Good Luck.
