FileMaker Pro

The most cost effective way to upgrade version 4.0 to version 4.1 is to download the updater from FileMaker's website. This is a free update and will give you all of the improvements of 4.1 with the exception of ODBC support (which is only useful to those large organizations that use FileMaker as a front end for their mainframe computers).
