We’ll advise on when it might make sense for those of you who are wanting to upgrade from an older version in order to get access to the many new features that have accrued while you ran your older version of FileMaker.

We will publish what we learn in experiments and if issues are discovered in running FileMaker 17. Our client work using FileMaker 17 is going to have to wait for at least a few weeks and often we prefer months to learn about and evaluate new features. We need to know all this new version can do and we do so with the caution you use when one’s business data and database tools are involved. It is great fun to play with this brand new upgraded tool but we do so while taking professional cautions – we duplicate our existing files as test versions for experimentation, leaving our FileMaker 16 systems in place. I am excited to announce this new more powerful version of FileMaker’s family of related FileMaker products. I just want to give you the best I got today so those who have been waiting for this new release can starting figuring out your plans and budgets.Įxcited but Professionally Cautious on Day 1.

I may have an update within a couple days with some refinements to a few points by then. So, take your time before you press the Buy button and whip out your credit card.

If you are reading this on May 15, keep in mind that information and clarity is still in short supply as FileMaker 17 rolls out.
