FileMaker Pro 10 Advanced Upgrade Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having just upgraded to Filemaker 9 in November, I was caught by surprise with the upgrade to 10. And of course Filemaker does not provide discounted upgrades unless bought within the last 3 weeks. I had even asked the sales rep before upgrading if anything was in the pipeline and told there was nothing imminent. Version 9 didn't add anything to version 8.5, which only added compatibility with Leopard and a few features over 8. Granted version 10 adds scripting, but I'm getting tired of plunking down money for what should have been minor upgrades in the previous versions. Unless you are wealthy or part of a corporation buying the upgrade, the constant fees to upgrade charged by Filemaker have now become excessive.
