FileMaker Pro 2.0 is out for the Mac and will soon be out for the
PC under Windows.

These two programs will easily share data over a network - and they
are very easy to use.  Check it out.

In a related question how well is the compatibility between FoxPro for
IBM and FoxBase+ for the mac?

Are programs, databases, screens, easily portable from FoxBASE to FoxPro?

How much would I have to change, and what would I have to change in
order to convert from FoxBASE+ to FoxPro?

Thanks in advance,
