NO! As an official developer of FileMaker Pro, we can compile the program so that FileMaker is not needed and you can run the program without purchasing a copy of FileMaker Pro.
2) What system requirements are needed to run SalesPro?
Check out system requirements on our requirements page.
3) Is the Program Year 2000 Compliant?
YES!Note: If you import / transfer data from a non-complaint program that stores it's dates using 2 letters designations (1/1/00) instead of the proper 4 letter designations (1/1/2000) you may need to use the replace command to convert your data. This is only an issue if any of your data is in the range 1/1/00 to 12/31/00.
More information can be found at FileMaker Pro's site http://www.filemaker.com/about/year2000directory.html.

12) How many inventory items, customers, invoices can I have before speed becomes a problem.
The system will run on any 68020 (1989) or better Macintosh system, but a PowerPC is strongly recommended (some smaller systems, a few thousand invoices, customers and items, performs adequately on a quadra (68040 machine). On any G3 or iMac Macintosh, the system performs extremely well with up to 100,000 customers, invoices or inventory items. On slower machines, or above 100,000 records, performance will still be good in most aspects, but reports may take several minutes to run.
