FileMaker Pro Sucks
DAY 9 OF 1825 // MONEY £0.00
————————————————————————–
Filemaker Pro is actually quite sweet peace of software, when it works. Today while trying to figure out how I’m going to make my walls, I found myself browsing around not doing much work.
So I stopped and and looked for something I didn’t want to do but needed to do, looking over my flow and check lists I noticed that I’m going to need to give receipts for purchases.
I could use a simple duplicate book and give them a top copy hand written receipt, a perfectly acceptable way of doing things other than it’s a little tricky if I want to call up a bunch of data to see how many of X I’m selling.
So I boot FileMaker Pro and get to work, lucky I still have a old receipt database from my previous job, delete a few tables here, insert the new logo and BOOM, crashed, white screen.
I thought nothing of it, CTRL+ALT+DEL and reopen the file and nothing, it’s all gone, I try and do a recover and no luck.
Being the dumbass I am, I saved over my original database. Instead of doing the smart thing of making a new one.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr – Bright side, tomorrow I’ll complete it very quickly.
Things I still need to buy:
- Backdrop and display system – Found one!
– Table and chair – IKEA’ing
- Something to sit small children on – Still looking.
