FileMaker Pro 6 takes Annual Software and Editor Awards

FileMaker Inc. has announced that FileMaker Pro 6 has won PC Magazine's Editor's Choice award for the category Personal Databases. Last week FileMaker Pro 6 and FileMaker Pro 6 Unlimited were both chosen as finalist for the prestigious Codie Awards in 2003 in the categories of Best Business Productivity Product or Service, and Best Numberic/Database Application.

PC Magazine Editor's Choice Award

The editors of PC Magazine have selected FileMaker Pro 6 over rival products like Microsoft Access 2002 and five other database products. Here are some of their comments:

"Ease-of-use, power and forward-looking features pushed the latest version of FileMaker above the competition," writes PC Magazine. It also adds that "Beyond its best-in-class ease-of-use, FileMaker offers one-click Web publishing and can import and export XML data. And these aren't the only way it can grow with you, it runs on both Windows PC and Macs."

"FileMaker Pro pulls off an impressive sleight of software design: It's a true relational database yet still approachable for nonprogrammers. With FileMaker Pro we were easily able to design both the structure and format of databases, as well as handily perform queries and reports."

"FileMaker successfully masks much of the complexity that underlies common tasksÉWe were easily able to set up relationships between tables, create reports based on the relationships, and use the WYSIWYG layout tool to embed a "portal" that exposed fields from records in another table in an input form."

"Querying a database is also easy...simply fill in fields in a form with the criteria you want to search for, and then you can incrementally revise queries to extend or constrain the original result set."
