Overview

You have probably used a computer to gather, process, and share information. For example, you may have searched for product information on the Internet, totalled expenses using a spreadsheet application, or typed and printed a memo using a word processing application. You may now need to store a large amount of information in an organized manner so that you can quickly and easily sort the information in various ways, and locate specific pieces of information efficiently. In this case, you'll use FileMaker Pro to create and use databases to store and organize information so that it is available for efficient retrieval.
