7.What is new in FileMaker Pro 6?
The best just got better with FileMaker Pro 6 database software. It features digital image capture and import; more than 20 modern and powerful templates for "instant productivity" in business, education and home; many time-saving features like Format Painter and Custom Dialog Boxes for users and developers; and integrated XML support so FileMaker can exchange data with a large and growing number of other applications. FileMaker Pro 6 will jump-start the productivity and creativity of workgroups ranging from entire small businesses to departments within the enterprise.

8.Why is the new FileMaker Pro 6 available before other revised products?
FileMaker Pro 6 files share the same file format as FileMaker Pro 5 and 5.5 files. Thus, all three versions may co-exist on the same network. In addition, all versions utilize the current FileMaker Server (now relabeled without a version number) features, enabling large workgroups to share information seamlessly.

9.Is XML import/export support in FileMaker Pro 6 a big deal?
Absolutely the widespread support of XML (Extensible Markup Language) standards means FileMaker Pro 6 can exchange data with a large and growing number of other applications without complex and costly converting of data between proprietary formats.
A developer can easily empower a workgroup using FileMaker Pro 6 to, for example, find and get data from Websites, import accounting data from QuickBooks, or query corporate databases without using ODBC drivers. With XML export, FileMaker Pro 6 users can share information with users of other applications. For example, users can export formatted FileMaker data in an attachment to an email, into Microsoft Excel, or into document-authoring applications.

10.What's new about XML support in FileMaker Pro 6?
In the past, accessing FileMaker data as XML required users to make requests to the FileMaker Web Companion from an external application; in other words, it was "pull" only through the Web Companion. Additionally, processing XSLT style sheets required the user to have installed an XSLT processor on the client machine. With FileMaker Pro 6 the XML capabilities are integrated into the product as import/export menu selections without the need for the Web Companion. Alternatively, the customer can script XML data import and export. Also within FileMaker Pro 6 is an XSLT processor allowing style sheets can be processed without the need for the customer to install their own.
