Michael:

Here is our FileMaker database on line version, which is pretty much the same as our day-to-day version. Email me separately and I can answer any questions you have. We recently added Google Maps to the database and are now proofing the maps and fine-tuning the dots - a lot are a little off.

Subject: [CONCH-L] Using FileMaker Pro

I wonder if someone who uses FileMaker Pro could email me a sample of the
data-base they use to catalogue their shells.

Inspired by the discussion on Conch-L a couple of months ago, I decided to
go with FileMaker Pro 12 and am wading my way very slowly through "The
Missing Manual" explanation of how to use this very powerful program. It
would really help focus my interest in using the program if I could see an
real life example of how one of you use the data-base for organizing a
shell collection.

Any assistance gratefully received!

Michael
