Mark,
Let's speak in code.
I don't think Dan knows what FMP Advanced is but I sure do. I've been a
developer for quite some time. Of course, I knew FileMaker when it was
marketed by Forethought which was before the breakup and Microsoft buying
PowerPoint from them. Before that is was Nutshell marketed by Nashoba.
Before that Wang believed that his word processor environment was all anyone
needed and Bill Gates thought no one would ever need more that 640 mb or
RAM.
I'd love to get to the developer conference in August since I've missed the
last two years. The rumors on 12 are interesting.
