[ANN] More "Free" Tips and Tricks from Excelisys

South Bend, IN; Temecula, CA May 24, 2004 -- Excelisys is excited to announce two new and free download additions to their free FileMaker 7 Tips and Tricks section of their website.

1. Recursive Calculations (white paper and demo)
The ability to create Custom Functions in FileMaker Developer 7 introduces the possibility of looping calculations, otherwise known as "recursion". In this demo you'll see several good examples of recursive calculations in action. A complete white paper covering this topic, which deconstructs the example calculations, is included as a PDF within the file authored by our own Andrew Persons.

2. Audit Log (white paper and demo)
An oft-requested feature for FileMaker Pro solutions is an audit log – the ability to track relevant changes to a record. This tip, also authored by our own Andrew Persons, is accompanied by a white paper PDF that outlines how to do this method that will automatically track each change to the fields the developer specifies, including who made the change, when, what the old value was, and what the new one is.

"With the release of FileMaker Pro 7.0, it is more important than ever to understand all the new dynamics and several exciting features that are possible with this incredible software. So the decision to offer some cool tips and tricks to showcase the power and flexibility of FileMaker Pro 7.0 is our way of giving back to the FMP community" says Excelisys founder, Christo.

Excelisys has been working with FileMaker Pro 7 for the last 16 months, and have already successfully designed, developed and deployed the FileMaker Business Tracker for FileMaker, Inc., representing the first real world example of a multi-user relational system designed in the new file format.
