I know FileMaker is much lighter software compared to 4D or DBase, but anyway I have some layouts / dbases that I would like to distribute, but for the possible buyers the price of FileMaker or any other commercial program is too high - a runtime version without layout editing would make life easier for them. -- Miika Asunta asunta@convex.csc.fi Double Bass Player tel. +358-0-494 093 Macintosh Programmer

Totally right. A runtime version of FileMaker Pro with no layout ability, etc would be an interesting product. One person develops the DB and everyone else just uses it. Ideal for bundle/site license type deal. Oh well... -Geoff -- geoffb@Dartmouth.EDU - Computing Support Consultant, Tuck School of Business Radio: "No Funk, No Punk, No Junk. 99 Rock!"

Way back at the original (West Australian) FM Pro release I raised the
runtime issue with the Claris guy.
He replied that it had been the subject of bitter "religious wars" wihtin
Claris and was a closely-lost decision.
Looks like nothing much has changed in the last 2 years...

This is too bad, a runtime would be VERY beneficial to me and quite a
few other users to be sure.

Even better though would be a server that would actually tax the computer
it is running on. Ever notice how you can be sharing a database,
have 10 to 20 people accessing it, and you are just flying. It would
be very nice to have a server that would use the machine it was on
to the fullest.
Of course, making it a client-server program would tightly inflict on
the Ma & Pa database of the latest movies, maybe its time for
Filemaker Industrial v1.0v1
heh.. I wish..
