FileMaker Pro 10: The Missing Manual
by Susan Prosser, Geoff Coffey
Amazon Price: $26.39

FileMaker Pro brings full-service printing company 'into the future'
The Ace Group is a full-service printing company and a leader in graphic arts solutions. Ace chose FileMaker Pro to help it stay ahead of its competitiors in delivering web-to-print and variable data publishing solutions to its clients. IT systems manager Paul Groppe is very pleased with FileMaker Pro: "Basically, FileMaker was able to learn how we work. Refreshingly, we did not have to retool the way we run our business around the requirements or restrictions of FileMaker Pro ... FileMaker brought us into the future. Plus, it was cross-platform, and easily customizable."
INFORMATION WEEK: Bento is an 'essential iPhone App for SMBs'
INFORMATION WEEK's Jake Widman surveys top iPhone Apps and recommends Bento for iPhone as an "essential" one for small and medium business: "Bento is a lightweight database designed especially for the Mac, so what better choice for a database on the iPhone? Bento ($4.99) works as a standalone database on the phone, but it also syncs with Bento on the desktop so you can take your data with you. If you modify the data on your phone, including adding new records and fields, they'll be synced back to your home database. Bento comes with 25 iPhone templates (see image) for managing different types of data."
Running a dental business in rural Brazil with an iPhone and Bento 3
Dennis Sellers, MacsimumNews, reports that "Dentist Bia Kunze had a simple idea: If you can?t make it to the dentist, the dentist will come to you. Kunze is a mobile dentist in Brazil ... To manage her practice on the go, she uses Bento for iPhone. 'I was told that things would be easier to manage with the Mac and Bento,' she says. 'I decided to give it a try and found that it?s much easier to use than any other system I?ve encountered. In an afternoon I created a custom database that had everything I needed to keep track of.' At first, Kunze carried her MacBook wherever she went. When Bento for iPhone was released, she left her notebook at home. 'I have a lot to carry, so having everything I need in the iPhone is fantastic,' she says."
Bento Template Exchange Exceeds 200,000 Downloads

MacNN reviews Bento 3, finds much to praise, and awards it 4-1/2 out of 5 stars: "Bento really shows the power of a true personal database, with its well thought out interface. It is immediately useful, thanks to built-in templates and a straightforward design ... I have no reservations recommending this program for use in small business or for home projects."
Wine cellar trend: Let Bento for iPhone guide your wine shopping and organizing
The Napa Valley Register surveyed wine industry experts for advice on the best approach to storing your wines and keeping track of what is in your cellar: "Rebecca Chapa, a professional taster and wine educator (www.rebeccachapa.com) said that even though a wine lover may not have ideal cellar conditions, it is more important to avoid drastic ups and downs in temperature than it is to keep a wine storage space at a strict 55 degrees. She also reported, ?I recently found a cool new program to help you keep track of inventory, it?s called Bento for Filemaker and it has an application for iPhone so you can be sure you aren?t buying something you already have at home.? "
MACLIFE: New Bento 3 is Great: its 'interface makes building databases ? enjo...
MacLife reviews the new Bento 3 and declares it "Great." Praising the new personal database?s ability to organize all kinds of data, interface with Address Book, iCal and iPhoto, and new sharing features, MacLife says, "All of these features make Bento 3 brilliant for personal and small-group scenarios ... The easy-to-use interface makes building databases (dare we say it?) enjoyable."
MACSIMUM: ?Bento 3 worth every penny?
Reviewing the new Bento 3, Macsimum News says, "Apple subsidiary FileMaker continues to bring database to the masses. Database is just a geek word for collection of stuff. Used to be, if you wanted a database, you had to hire someone to program it, or learn it yourself?not an easy task ... So FileMaker put together a program that makes it simple ? Bento. And with the recent jump to v. 3, Bento takes another step toward making it easy for anyone to build and use a database ... Bento is worth every penny of the US$49 you pay for it. And a five-computer family license is $99. If you have a previous version, buying directly from the Bento website will save you $20 instantly."
BUSINESS WEEK highlights new Bento 3 and iPhoto integration
The new Bento 3 is available, and BUSINESS WEEK says, "The new key feature is that Bento 3 talks to iPhoto, and your iPhoto albums are viewable from within Bento. This makes it easy to store and edit detailed information about your photos, but also to link photos to entries in your Bento database, whether its for a list of small business contacts, or your collection of antique stoneware."
