7用の解説書と結構な割合でかぶってるんでしょうか？
スクリプトステップでの実装だから、7では機能しないし。FileMaker社はOSやハード叩くのが苦手なんでしょか。
タブレイアウトオブジェクトは気持ち良い。気持ち良すぎて試作品がタブだらけになってしまいます。
本当は、基本を押さえる書籍は一通り済んだので、
ガチの大き目な案件を収録したメシのタネ満載本が充実してほしいです。
数パターン分。
とにかく開発のパターン化をもう少し突き詰めないと死んでしまう。
アメリカのFMP開発者コミュニティのサイトでは、そういった開発手法をまとめたpdfが配布されていたりします（いずれ記事でご紹介したいと思っています）。日本でもまず開発者コミュニティが基本的な開発手法をまとめてゆくことが必要ですね。
来年初頭、日本でも発売予定らしいですよ。こないだのFileMaker Fun Nightでゆってましたっ。
来週、11/12日（土）はFileMaker 8祭りだそうですよっ。
（すたこらさっさ…(笑)）
英語版をちょこちょこ読んでいるところですが、細かなtipsがあちこちに散りばめられていて読み応えがありますね。
11/12も Apple Store Ginza には残念ながら行けませんが、ご盛況をお祈りしています。
FFNお知らせ、いつもありがとうございます。
