The database consistency check initiated on launch will no longer incorrectly report that a database is damaged for some databases that can be opened and used without any problems. Printing UK, Australia, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese standard labels no longer discards data from printouts and print preview.

The application no longer crashes when a page range is specified. A relationship with a global field now returns all related records if the value of the other key is empty. Windows: The application no longer freezes when navigating records on an external data source table if all records that are cached in FileMaker get deleted in the data source side. In a file with a non-US file locale, searching for decimal values with non-period decimal separators will no longer fail. Records will no longer disappear from a portal related to another portal after approximately records are added.

A client machine no longer crashes if a client uses a Re-login script and tries to reset a password for which a limited length has been specified. Mac OS X: The application no longer crashes when closing multiple files that contain script groups. Fixed an issue where button scripts were not shown in the Perform Script Options dialog after scripts were grouped on the client in a peer-to-peer networking situation.

File references opened up a number of opportunities for FileMaker developers. It was finally possible in FileMaker Pro to create applications in which all the data was in one file and all the elements of the application such as layouts and scripts were in another.

So for example, by adding a simple file reference to my billing database, I was able to post payments in my checking database at the same time, without actually having to open and edit the checking database. Well, with FileMaker 9, you can now reference and use an SQL data source in exactly the same way that you can reference and use another FileMaker file. If you have the proper access privileges, you will be able to create or delete records. And developers can even use SQL data sources in field-level calculation formulas.

If you only expect half a dozen or so users to connect to your database, you will be happy to know that the number of peer-to-peer connections allowed by FileMaker Pro, which dropped from nine to four in a previous release, has risen back up to nine.

But even for small numbers of users, FileMaker Server is the preferred way to go, and the installation and set-up is much easier to negotiate in version 9. A process that used to make even experienced network administrators break out in an anxious sweat has been improved so much that I was able to get the server up and running in under 20 minutes.
