I'm not sure how light it is but there is a filemaker go app for the IOS platform.
I know you can upload the filemaker database file to your IOS device and view the database data in different report formats on your device, possibly you can produce a small database using that Oh and it's free, I'm not sure if it's got an OSX application version. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of John JD Denning Sent: Wednesday, 27 July 2016 8:41 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: FileMaker, or other database? Thanks for the input both of you. It's hard to justify the high cost of FileMaker for my very easy needs. I would use bento if it was still around and modern. But I'm really disappointed that FileMaker hasn't come out with a light version a stripped-down version for home users. At a much lower cost. I don't need all the power of a modern FileMaker. I don't even need relational. A flat file system would be good. But I would love the power and or most of the advanced features of today's FileMaker. The capabilities of version four would do me just fine. Thanks again.
