>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.

I always regarded it as the lowest of the low but I may not be well informed on FMP's strengths. I would say it probably competes more with Access than VFP and if I had to choose between the two (FMP and Access that is) I would choose Access ANYDAY.

Just my biases...
