Acknowledgments

This book could not exist were it not for the hard work and support of many colleagues and friends. In addition, heartfelt thanks are due to North Country Consulting clients who have brought a wide range of issues to the table and who, with humor and imagination, have been great partners in our common development of interesting FileMaker solutions.

At FileMaker, Kevin Mallon and Delfina Daves have once again provided continuing support and help. Through the FileMaker Business Alliance and TechNet, many resources are available to FileMaker users and developers, and we thank FileMaker for so aggressively providing the information to help us all use this exciting product successfully.

At Que, Loretta Yates has been a pleasure to work with. Project editor Tonya Simpson, development editor Sondra Scott, and copy editor Bart Reed all worked quickly and accurately to help guide the book through the production process. Beverly Voth has provided insightful and helpful comments from the technical side. Her help is greatly appreciated. And, as always, Carole Jelen at Waterside Productions has helped shepherd this project through to completion.

No acknowledgment would be complete without mentioning all the work our friends at FileMaker, Inc., do to make everything in our careers possible. FileMaker is a fantastic suite of products, and we’re terrifically excited by the continued promise the FileMaker platform shows.
