Did
you know that FileMaker Pro databases can be accessed using a common web
browser? You don't need FileMaker running on
your computer to access your database. And that means you can access your
database from virtually any computer, anywhere in the world. Access is
typically limited by a user ID and password. (or it can be opened by any
guest without authentication)

FileMaker web tools allow you to
remotely search your database in real time,
add records to your database instantaneously, and edit information in your
database - no matter where you are, no matter what time of day. Your
databases are securely password-protected, so you don't have to worry
about your information getting into the wrong hands.
Now let's take this web capability one step
further. Since the database is web-enabled, why not create a website
"powered" by FileMaker Pro? FileMaker can make your site
truly interactive, by including a product showroom, shopping cart, or
customer data center.
FileMaker Pro's "instant web
publishing" capability is built into all of your databases for
one-click integration of your databases with the web. This
provides you with a quick and easy way to get your databases web-published
in no time.
Many
businesses use FileMaker web tools in conjunction with their regular
website. Here are some typical uses:
Get real-time
order-status reports, 24 hours a
day, just by going to your web address and entering their unique ID and
PW.
Fill out data
forms on your website. The data
is automatically entered into your database - no more double-entry for
your data entry person!
Access all of
your office's databases while traveling,
even if they don't have a laptop computer with them. They just need to
find ANY machine that has Internet access, and they can get into your
databases live.
Search your
inventory, place an order online, then
track the status of their orders. That's right, you can build a
full e-commerce shopping cart solution with FileMaker Pro!
Your organization
members of can search your databases for important information such
as confidential data, while non-members can be prevented from having
access to your databases.
FileMaker is used
to develop applications that are shared in mixed Mac, Windows or
Linux environments - even platforms where you wouldn't normally be
able to install FileMaker Pro.
