Hi,

I know this is an access forum, and I currently use Access, but I need some honest opinion...

I currently administer a MS Access database and there are a lot of things I don't like about it. From the website info, Filemaker Pro seems more friendly to the integration of video / audio files, etc. Plus... I would like to run the same database on both a Windows / MacIntosh simultaneously if possible. I downloaded the trial version of FMP 7.0. I can see it'll take some time getting use to it.

Can anyone tell me if I should make the move or should I stay with access.

My database runs at 2 different work sites (currently the db is completely independent... two separate db's). It is mostly information logging for a daily activity log.. but I want to add video clips, etc. I work for a surveillance type company.

PLEASE HELP... and advice is greatly appreciated.

Vandy
