I didn't try the runtime version because I own FP7. The version I tested worked wonderfully. It is a nicely designed, quick and relatively intuitively designed filemaker db. It seemed to be really full-featured and covered all the categories that I, as an artist, would want in a db of my work. Two complaints. First, I wish I could have tried it more than 9 times. The limiting of a few features may be a good trade off if the authors were to make it a time-limited demo or at least giving it more tests, say 20 instead of 9. The second concerns the price. $50 US or $90 AU is a lot of money for most artists. Alas, despite what the world thinks, most artists do not make a living off their art, or if they do, it's a pretty meagre living, supplemented by teaching or other types of work. Art really doesn't pay unless one's talent is combined with a lot of luck and endless self-promotion. Anyway, that's a personal complaint. Most artists will hold onto their scraps of paper rather than pay that amount for a database, I think.
Overall, a nice a db, though.
Flick!

mow a lawn, shovel a driveway, bingo there's your moola.
Things cost money, the "it cost too much" argument is lame.
If its a good tool and it helps you, pay for it. Or don't. But don't haggle.
I spend more than that on a few brushes and supplies at Pearl Art any day.
