I don't know what internet points you think you just won by talking down to me like that.

The nuances I ran into are subtle and are not clear in the KB article you shared (which I did review before purchasing) or in the other articles I read. I searched this site as well as Claris Forums, and didn't find anything that would be a showstopper for me.

I also did post to The Soup BEFORE making this purchase (as you so condescendingly suggested), and asked "Has anyone used it? Is it Filemaker light, or full Filemaker? Can it do things like run nightly imports and send emails from the server? Is it worth doing?"

> Hi there, I'm starting up a new client who's a public school and probably can't host their own solution. I have a couple of hosts I use regularly, but there's some sort of new Claris online thing. Has anyone used it? Is it Filemaker light, or full Filemaker? Can it do things like run nightly imports and send emails from the server? Is it worth doing?

None of the comments mentioned these issues.

It happens, it's a drag, but I thought it could possibly be helpful to others to post here so they aren't surprised by the same things. If this information isn't helpful to you, maybe just ignore my post and don't feel compelled to point out how many mistakes I made that you wouldn't have made.
