StudioSchool Pro requires FileMaker Pro 6.04 or higher and FileMaker Server 5.5. If your copies of FileMaker Pro meet this requirement, you can use them. StudioSchool Pro requires several third-party FileMaker Plugins which must be installed. These are platform specific and can be downloaded from our site along with installation instructions. Absolutely. These are full FileMaker Pro licenses and copies of FileMaker Pro.

A number of companies make "plug-ins" for FileMaker Pro that extend it's capabilites, giving a developer the ability to add features that may not be possible in the current version of FileMaker Pro. (FileMaker, Inc. officially calls them "Extensions" but all the manufacturers call them "plug-ins".) StudioSchool Pro currently uses four plug-ins to increase security, faciliate user interaction and to manage updates.

While not a full-fledged accounting program like MYOB or QuickBooks, StudioSchool Pro does track Income and Payments from class registrations and donation, as well as registration deductions such as scholarships, discounts, and other adjustments. To do this, SSP uses standard book-keeping accounts (e.g. 4-4100, 1-1100, etc.) which must be entered by the user during setup.

We use FileMaker Pro as the backbone for the Sound Ideas SuperSearch software. Installation instructions are provided on the documentation that accompanies our Demo and Electronic Catalog CDs. Once installed and started, there is a Help file available that we suggest you read thoroughly before you begin your first search process.

StudioSchool Pro was originally designed by William Loving of Human Data Design, beginning in 1996, for use by the Northampton Community Music Center in Massachusetts. Like many small organizations, the Northampton Community Music Center was struggling to manage it's mailing list and class registrations without the benefit of an integrated database.

For schools which require the ability to send invoices for outstanding balances, StudioSchool Pro offers summarized invoicing for each family and standard 30/60/90 day aging reports. We are currently working to develop an online registration function which will allow organizations to leverage their investment in StudioSchool Pro and avoid having to create an expensive and/or non-integrated custom web registration system.

Unfortunately, Filemaker Pro Server was designed only to recognize the IP address in the TCP/IP control panel primary configuration. It cannot bind to more than one IP address. As far as we know, the FMP developers never considered the dual NIC case. For a shared server/gateway Mac, the only workaround we know of is to point your Appletalk interface at one NIC and use the primary, active TCP/IP configuration for the other.

StudioEase 4.x - 5.3 are created with FileMaker Pro 6 which has a different file format than FileMaker Pro 7.x and higher. Therefore, using the files may not yield useful results. FileMaker 7 and up may be supported in a future release.

Yes, just click HERE to download a PDF file containing a sample of StudioSchool Pro's reports including: donation and campaign reports; payments, invoices, and receivables reports; class lists and student geographical distribution summaries. The Multi-User version of StudioSchool Pro includes two FileMaker Pro licenses. The easiest way to obtain additional licenses, including licenses for FileMaker Server, is to purchase them with your copy of StudioSchool Pro.

This is due to a conflict with 3 network files - CLARISNW.DLL, NETBIONW.DLL and NOVELLNW.DLL. If you delete these three files which are located in the program directories, FileMaker will run. If you did not change the default install program directories when SuperSearch was being installed on your hard drive, delete these three files from the following directories that have been made on your hard drive: C:\SI-SFX, C:\SI-RFMUSIC, C:\SI-XV, and C:\SI-MUSICAUDITION.

If you have a complete copy of the FileMaker Pro software, you will be asked for a password when you try to open the version that is included in SuperSearch. This is an idiosyncrasy only - you do not need a password to use the program. Just hit "Enter" on your keyboard or click "OK" to enter the program and everything will work fine. You can even import and export data without the password. Yes.

I need some sort of computer system created for my business, but my company is totally unique. My company runs completely differently from any other business.
