Operation Cleanup Part 1
I guess simply use of the wording "Cleanup" implies that something needs to be - well - cleaned up. Such is the case with anything that may become outdated.
Styles and trends change and so should your FileMaker database. Sure, you can get away with running on a FileMaker 5 file and keep it operational as long as you never update the operating system or anything else required to run the antiquated system.
The trade off to not updating are all the gains and features you get in newer versions of FileMaker.
So, while working on one of my most recent themes, I decided to document the types of changes I'd make to one of the default starter files provided by FileMaker itself.
Hence this short three part series and these first three tips of removing labels, implied operations and making the important part stand out.
If those suggestions alone don't make any sense then try giving the video a once over.
