I just found out that the program I use for all of my shooting logs AND class scheduling AND student database, Bento (from Filemaker) was discontinued last year. To make matters worse, I've been running v2 and apparently they're up to v4. Gee, I wonder why they discontinued it with loyal customers like me?
My biggest concern is that an OS upgrade will eventually make the app inaccessible. All the data can easily be exported but I've invested a lot of time and effort into the format.
Filemaker has graciously created a $350 upgrade path to Filemaker Pro. Candidly, if it's between that and nothing I'd pay it. But I was wondering if folks had experience with other things, such as Tap Forms, that might be smarter.
While I don't relish the idea of having to start from scratch, given my existing timetable -- starting a new pistol in a couple of months -- at least that part of it can migrate fairly painlessly. I'm assuming things like my student database will migrate even to a Mac Numbers file with little real loss in functionality.
Advice very welcome. Thanks in advance.
