Creating a Database in FileMaker Pro 8.5: Visual QuickProject (Peachpit Press, 2007)

As mentioned in Creating a Database in FileMaker Pro 8.5: Visual QuickProject, you can download the graphics needed for the Investment Minder database from this page. The image files are compressed into separate Mac and Windows archives. Click the appropriate link to download the archive to your computer. When saving the archive, select an easy-to-find disk location, such as the Desktop.

Windows archive

InvestmentMinder2.zip

Macintosh archive

InvestmentMinder2.sit


To extract the files from the archive, click (or double-click) the icon of the downloaded file. You will be allowed to choose a location in which to store the extracted files. As you did with the download, select an easy-to-find disk location, such as the Desktop. The archive will appear as a new folder named Investment Minder Icons. Inside, you'll find two folders: Data Entry Icons (containing the data entry icons needed for Chapter 8) and Browser Icons (containing the icons needed for Chapter 10).

Note: If you own my last book (Creating a Database in FileMaker Pro 8: Visual QuickProject) and previously downloaded the icons for that book, you'll only need the icons in the Browser Icons folder.

Extraction Programs
If your computer doesn't have a compatible extraction program and can't open the archive, you can download the necessary program from one of these Web sites:

WinZip (Windows)
