Since none of us are programmers at FileMaker Inc., none of us have any idea how simple that would be. Looks simple -- and it would certainly be simple for us to use -- but when the software has a lot of moving parts, they have to make sure nothing else gets broken when they add each "simple" feature.

They also have to make sure that they are working on the features that will bring the best return, and keep the company profitable. I'll bet that's not easy.

However, if you want a place to let FMI know how you feel:
