Chapter 2: New features in FileMaker Pro
This chapter introduces the new features available in FileMaker Pro 4.0.
Web publishing capabilities
Using FileMaker Pro 4.0, you can access your database from almost
anywhere in the world. Your file can be viewed, edited, sorted, and
searched with just Web browser software and access to the Internet or
your intranet. You can also choose how much or how little access users
have to your file.
Note Access to the Internet requires an Internet service provider.
FileMaker Pro does not provide an Internet account for you.
Instant Web Publishing
With FileMaker Pro 4.0, you can quickly publish your database on the
Internet or on an intranet, using the FileMaker Pro Web Companion.
This functionality is built in—no additional CGI or Web server software
is required for either the Mac OS, Windows 95, or Windows NT.
However, access to the Internet requires an Internet account.
