[Year 12 IT Apps] RDBMS systems

Fri Jun 8 09:38:58 EST 2012

Hi.
Yes, we are a Mac school. Used FileMaker for the first time this year. I have always used Access in previous schools. I found FileMaker to be easier to use despite having used Access for about 10 years. Definitely agree that using either Access or Filemaker is best so as to limit terminology confusion.
