FileMaker 8.5 New Features Overview
Shortly after FileMaker, Inc. released the new FileMaker 8.5, I "rushed out" and purchased, (if you consider buying a copy online "rushing") my copy of the new version. The next thing I did was use one of my template files to start going through the new features. While the list isn't a big one, the few features they add each time, especially those geared towards developers, makes the environment that much easier to create solutions.
Without having spent too much development time with each feature, I wanted to bring my findings to the web so you'll feel more informed. There were a few features which weren't immediately clear, such as extracting HTML from a Web Viewer, and others with immediate benefits and possible pitfalls! Take about 50 minutes (yes, I know that's a long time) and watch this video to see my first impressions of FileMaker 8.5.
