In this show we talk about contracts, the value of the Filemaker Maintenance agreement and building a runtime executable with FilemakerPro Advanced.

Andy and Lee discuss the concept of a "database" and get into how Filemaker has evolved into meeting this concept via the development of a "Separation" model with data/tables in one or more seperate files from forms and reports. They also discuss why it's a very good idea to do development using the Advanced version of FilemakerPro.

Lee and Andy talk about tips for designing your approach to user navigation within your solution. We also talk about the usefulness of the "Evaluate" function as well as using the import capability between tables within a solution.
