Negative Positive
Title: Useless.
Review: The beauty of the original "Dummies" books was that they presented useful information in plain English -- with the bonus of a fun, irreverent tone. This author, unfortunately, has concentrated on tone (which he alone thinks is clever), at the expense of organization and helpful information. Many basics aren't even covered -- for example, how to add unique (not repeated) fields, how to set up pop-up menus. Yet he spends an inordinate amount of time non-Filemaker topics like the basics of organizing (which he didn't follow in the book) and why databases are useful (which the reader probably already knows, after spending $200 on the program). My opinion: not worth the paper it's printed on.
