First time posting, hi.
Problem: My department has been merged with another. We use an Access database (each user had a license), the other department uses FileMaker. They want the databases merged, and want me to tell them which one to go with. This company is Mac-friendly, the IT dept supports FMP. I prefer Access, but choosing it simply because I like it, and I'll be the one designing it, isn't reason enough.
Those are my only choices. I have never designed in FMP, but since I have implemented numerous DB's in Access, I figure it won't be that hard to learn.
Quick profile of departments:
- ~ 20 users
- 4 or 5 tables
- few thousand records
- in love with metrics reporting and pretty graphs
TIA!
