FileMaker Solution Framework

Included on the first CD ROM is a copy of the FileMaker Solution Framework. These files are useful to almost any FileMaker Pro user. First, you can modify, duplicate and redistribute a modified version of the solution. The files are provided royalty-free and are full of all kinds of power-user techniques and development secrets about using FileMaker Pro. You can take the files apart and learn FileMaker Pro from the files themselves.
