>Does FileMaker compete with Visual FoxPro? Or perhaps Access? The only thing I think I know is that it was a database tool for the Mac. Apparently it supports Windows too. I was in the doctor's office the other day and noticed a two-page spread for it in PC World. I thought that was an odd place for a developer tool ad, but it did grab my attention.

A third party product we purchased was built around FileMaker. It has been a horrendous problem for us and has been phased out.
