Database management for Windows, Mac, and the web
FileMaker Pro is powerful, easy-to-use database software that helps you and your team get any task done faster. Millions of people in business, government, and education use FileMaker Pro to effortlessly manage all their information on Windows, Mac, and the web.
FileMaker Charts
Now your data can take on a whole new dimension with FileMaker Charts in FileMaker Pro 11. Create eye-catching reports in five different styles including vertical bar, horizontal bar, area, line and pie charts. Plus, make high-impact web dashboards by publishing your charts to the web using Instant Web Publishing. With FileMaker Charts, you'll share and analyze your information like never before.
Create quick reports in a spreadsheet-like format
Make reports in a spreadsheet-like fashion and get even more out of your data. Group and summarize your information on the fly directly in Table View to create professional looking reports. Easily modify your reports by adding, sorting, or hiding fields and records. Create reports in FileMaker Pro even if you've never used a database before.
Enhanced Layout/Report Assistant
It's even easier to create customized reports in FileMaker Pro using the enhanced Layout/Report Assistant. A new streamlined interface guides you step-by-step in building reports with grouped data. Select styles and themes. Add headers, footers, subtotals, or scripts. Create polished reports in minutes with the improved Layout/Report Assistant.
Snapshot Link
Sometimes you need a report where a set of records stays the same but the details change. Let's say you want to track the results of sales leads received yesterday. Create a Snapshot Link file to save a specific set of records at a point in time. This also preserves the same layout, view, and sort order. Any changes you make to the file will be updated in the database. Plus email the Snapshot Link to anyone who has FileMaker Pro 11 for easy collaboration.
Recurring Import
In FileMaker Pro 11 you can establish a Recurring Import from Microsoft Excel, CSV or TAB files. Set it up once, and every time you open your database, the data from your Excel spreadsheet or data file will update automatically in FileMaker Pro. Imported data is read-only. Use this data to easily create sales reports, track workflow, and collaborate with others.
Quick Find
In FileMaker Pro 11 you can search for information just as you would in a web browser. Enter a word or phrase in the search box and FileMaker Pro will search all fields in your layout - right in Browse mode. Even customize Quick Find to search only certain layouts or fields. Finding your information is a snap with Quick Find.
Inspector
Design your databases more efficiently than before with the new Inspector - a master tool palette that organizes all the layout objects and properties in one convenient place. Now all your favorite design tools are right at your fingertips. With the new Inspector, you'll save time and discover things you can do to your layout that you never knew existed before.
Object Badges
Visually identify different properties in your layouts with new color-coded icons. Quickly spot fields and objects that contain Conditional Formatting or Script Triggers. Determine which fields are searchable via Quick Find. Plus distinguish between indexed fields from the same table and fields from related tables.
Invoice Starter Solution
Managing your small business just got easier with the new Invoice Starter Solution - a professionally designed template built right into FileMaker Pro 11. Track all your product and customer details. Create, manage, and print customized invoices for every order.
Improved Quick Start Screen
The Quick Start Screen in FileMaker Pro 11 has a new, streamlined interface to help you get started more quickly than ever before. Create a new database, manage favorite files, or find helpful resources - all from one screen. The Quick Start Screen appears when you open FileMaker Pro. Or you can access it anytime from the Help menu.
Text highlighting
Use highlighting to emphasize words or numbers in fields. Simply select your data then click the text highlight button. Identify important text for yourself or your colleagues.
Layout Folders
Organize all your layouts in folders - it's as easy as drag and drop. From the Manage Layout dialog box you can create new layouts, folders, or separators. Plus, easily edit, copy, and delete layouts from the same screen.
Portal Filtering
Add Portal Filtering in your layouts to automatically show only the related records that you specify. Filters leverage the full power of the calculation engine. Display data the way you want without using complex table occurrences or relationships.
Scripting Enhancements
Create and modify scripts through the Button Setup dialog box in Layout Mode - no need to go through separate menus and dialog boxes. This streamlined approach can also be used when creating Script Triggers, opening and closing script steps and creating scripts in Custom Menus in FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced.
Improved File Security
Add even more protection to your databases with new file access security features in FileMaker Pro 11. Authorize specific files to access tables, scripts, and value lists in your file. Plus prevent your databases from being opened with previous versions of FileMaker Pro.
Variables in Find Requests and Merge Fields
Leverage the power of variables in scripted finds and merge fields. By using local or global variables instead of global fields or unstored calculation fields, you can simplify your database schema and increase your database performance.

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
Just wanted to thank you for the personal service. I appreciate that you called me on my credit card problem, and have kept me updated on the status of my order. I place orders on line several times a month, and sometimes customer service is lacking.
Thank you, again.
Thank you very, very much! I have never used PowerMax before but I have been absolutely impressed with your professionalism and service. I really appreciate all the effort your company seems to put into customer service. I'm really looking forward to receiving the computer, and thank you once again for the follow-up service.
Thanks,
I received the display and the last tablet today, thank you. Your service has been great; I appreciate you taking an interest in my new business, and will certainly have more purchase orders for you in the future.
Best,
I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to CALL me after you were unable to reach me via e-mail yesterday. I am glad that you contacted me when you discovered that the mouse that I ordered was no longer available in the color that I wanted and am very impressed with the personal approach that you and PowerMax have taken even though PowerMax is an online vendor. Even though I was not able to purchase from PowerMax on this occasion, I will certainly buy from you in the future. It's nice to see that there are still people out there that care about their customers.
Best Regards,
Thanks for getting my iMac trade processed so quickly and for shipping out the new MBP much faster than I expected. I was a bit apprehensive about doing a trade-in, but you exceeded my expectations by a mile.
Great job!
