Product Description:

EZxslt simplifies the generation of Microsoft Word documents using data stored in FileMaker Pro 6 and FileMaker Pro 7 databases. EZxslt is the first automatic XSLT stylesheet generator for FileMaker Pro. EZxslt is designed for FileMaker Pro users who wish to use MS Word (or other word processing application) for superior typographical control and better handling of long text documents such as contracts, proposals, manuscripts, and mail merge letters. In contrast to a standard Mail Merge, EZxslt makes use of FileMaker Pro's built-in XML capabilities and both increases the functional scope of FileMaker Pro solutions while reducing the effort needed to maintain a workgroup solution.

EZxslt ReviewI want my money back - Version: 1.5.3, 2/3/2007 07:10PM PST

This sounds like a very appealing and easy app. It is easy, and it works like a charm on toy examples. But give it a real-world, multipage document and it fails to repeat the entire document contents for each record.

I contacted the author and was told they were able to repro my problem. Yay! I was hopeful. But several follow-up enquiries over the following months were ignored. If this was a freeware app, I'd be more generous, but with this outrageous price tag, I expect it to work - or my money back.

Note that the xsl requires that you export fields in a certain order, which is a left-over from the old, old Filemaker xml schema. But more modern Filemaker versions export a more sensible xml that, with an intelligently designed xsl, do not require the manual work of ensuring that fields are exported in a particular order. This is more evidence that this is abandonware - again, that's fine for freeware, but at that price...!

Bottom line: Do not buy this.
