I want to take up the subject of presentations and hope to pass on some of our hard won and often challenged, expertise in this area! This is kicked off with the help of Stuart Price whose article in an old old edition of the MacUser subscribers newsletter, ‘MacUser 2’, took the words right out of our mouths back in 1997 when we first saw it.

FIND The power of your database

What’s more - how do you accomplish that quickly and efficiently - and preferably all in one hit? In this article we will show you just how you can pull out even obscure sets of data, and make sure your data and your FileMaker database is really working for you...
