This software is appalling - the Getting Started Guide does not work - what should be simple work of adding tables and keys, simple reports error messages - importing data… more error messages etc etc Has anyone actually installed this software and does anyone actually used this? Seems to be a complete waste of time - had hoped it lived up to some, not all of its promises of being better than FileMaker! ---
