[QUOTE="Chris Davis, post: 50869, member: 137"] Re: Filemaker 9 users heads up I don't update software that often either. Usually just when something breaks. I have been exposed to Filemaker since its earlier days, but really got started building FM databases during the 5.5 release (I think). Either that release, or soon after, they reworked it so you could put more than one DB table into a single file. That cleared up the requirement for associations between different files, but creates a small bit of migration work (importing and then verifying field names in DB tables and scripts). But I have found it to be generally more stable after that. Now it is harder to inadvertently break something while making adjustments, due to everything being integrated into one tight little file. There have been some useful improvements over time, some more important to me than others. So in the end I will probably need to have a look at the change logs page. [/QUOTE]
