Is there anyone else using this? My school picked it up a few months ago and I spent the last few weeks making a Check In/Check Out system for kids who arrive tardy or leave early. I have a working system but there is one specific thing I need to do and for the life of me cannot figure out how to do it. Or rather I know HOW to do it but Filemaker doesn't seem to want to.

Nope...I didn't even know people were still using it

11 is the latest and it is actually quite popular. One huge reason is that you can create standalone systems without including the original program. Your even allowed to sell them!

Is it totally WYSIWYG?

Oh gosh no. It is a relational database so there is quite a bit of database management and scripting behind the scenes. I guess you could say the main layout the user sees is WYSIWYG but that encompasses about 1% of the total development time.
