"Welcome iDatabase", says Macworld Magazine

“Bento,” reports Macworld’s Dan Moren, “FileMaker’s new consumer-level database, aims to do for the database what Numbers and Pages did for the spreadsheet and the page layout program, respectively: make them easy and accessible for the rest of us.” The new consumer-level database “provides an approachable interface that appeals to the general consumer and a feature set that’s suitable for a single user to manage data. Bento easily handles data that’s too cumbersome for a spreadsheet, yet doesn’t require the complexities of a professional-level database.”

Is there a way to make that highlight take the same shape as my graphic image? Find out the answer below by reading the full article.

Modification Timestamp from the Host
