Never.... Never in my wildest dreams did I really expect WINE to run Filemaker Pro 3.0 .... and do it with no hitches whatsoever. What previous experiences I had with WINE were more than a little bit unsatisfying. This is great Great GREAT !!! My whole database with invoices and the cross linked customer databases, etc... all came over and worked. Unbelievable. I will now have to run parallel for awhile until I am convinced of it's stability and dependability. Filemaker Pro is far and away the best available consumer level easy to use database on the market today as far as ease of use combined with the power to do the things a guy really needs to do. I've used Foxpro, Access, Paradox, Alpha, and a few others, but find that for quick design, functionality and ease of use Filemaker beats them all. It of course lacks full truly relational capabilities, but can cross-link between databases and accomplish what I need. It isn't an enterprise system for designing numerous front ends for multi user operation. It doesn't have the full nuts and bolts down and dirty programming capabilities, but it does allow enough user scripting to make a database that has all the functionality I need as an end user. I get done with a session of designing a simple and easy to use database and associated forms, and I am not stressed out and pissed off, not frustrated with not being able to achieve the desired result, or having to go under the hood and tinker to get it to do what I want. A truly great product from Apple Computer's skunk works, and a well kept secret to PC users. I originally adopted this product out of a desire to have a product that easily jumped platforms from Mac to PC ....... It truly is a cross platform product. H.W.
