SMNetwork Archives / SOFTWARE: Filemaker?
« on: Nov 07, 2005, 11:37 am »
The thread on electronic calling scripts inspired this question, but I thought I'd start a new thread...
Do any of you use Filemaker for reports or anything else? I'm really impressed by what Filemaker can do when I've seen other SMs' systems, but a) it seems really hard to learn, and b) I find its design limitations frustrating -- my reports tend to be very detailed and often go over one page.
I currently use Word for pretty much everything, as it lets me indulge my graphic design jones easily, and .doc files are easily shared across platforms.
Ideas? Suggestions?
