Appendix B: About the TechInfo database
The TechInfo database is a great resource for technical information
about FileMaker, Inc. products. This FileMaker Pro database serves as a
front-line resource for the company’s support technicians as they field
customer inquiries. It collects Q&As, tips, FAQs, bug reports, update
notes, press releases, templates, and a host of other material valuable for
the support professional. The TechInfo database is located in the Product
& Support Information folder on the Developer Edition CD-ROM.
For late-breaking technical information, you can access a version of the
TechInfo database from the support area of the FileMaker, Inc. web site
(http://www.filemaker.com).
