I found it much easier to move away from Filemaker when I groked their licensing. Seems I had to pay a licensing fee for every copy of every app I distributed, even when it was for internal consumption. That and their idea of coding is filling in dialogs. In fact, I went looking for a hypercard alternative that was current because I had enough of filemaker.
