Design changes in FileMaker Pro 10
FileMaker Pro 10 features an enhanced look and feel. Many items, such as buttons, have changed in appearance, name, and location. For instance, the status area has been redesigned as a status toolbar across the top of the document window. Its new horizontal orientation provides fast access to more items and additional space for working with your database.
The following images and tables will help you to quickly find the new locations of your favorite items.
