Thank you, Adam. I was beginning to believe that it was just me. The only thing that I can say for this book is that it is easier to read and use than others that I have tried on the subject. I tried what was supposedly the definitive book on this software, "FileMaker Pro 8 Bible", and it was so convoluted and wordy and strayed around so much that I just gave up on it. I can say that this "Missing Manual" at least gave me a better get-go start at understanding the use of the software.


I do agree that the editors seem to have been lax. Because of the high quality of what I have previously used from O'Reilly, I was sorely disappointed in the unworkable parts of this book.
