This review is from: FileMaker 9 Developer Reference: Functions, Scripts, Commands, and Grammars, with Extensive Custom Function Examples (Paperback)
This is the one FM book that lives on my desk. I occasionally shelve it, only to end up pulling it out again a day later. I just hope they update it for version 10....
