Hey everybody and welcome back! This time, we’ll be looking at the key upgrades that are part of FileMaker 14.

The greatest aspect of FileMaker 14 is how robust it is, as FileMaker does not restrict the number of networked Go or Pro clients. Technical limits will be decided by your own hardware and operating system, not FileMaker itself.

FileMaker 14 also allows you to protect your data by setting scheduled back-ups, which will run even when the software is being used. You will also have access to your data on a 24/7 basis.

As always thanks for watching, and be sure to check back here again soon for more helpful FileMaker tips and the latest industry news!

Hey everybody and welcome back! This time, we’ll be taking a look at what’s new with the FileMaker 14 server.

It’s a situation nobody wants to deal with — losing a server connection and having all of your work go with it. Now FileMaker 14 puts you right back where you were in your solution when the connection was dropped, saving you time and frustration.

FileMaker 14 also comes with enhanced password protection. When you are setting the password, the admin control will evaluate how strong it is, and there will also be a four digit number required if you ever want to change that password.
