| Inspector is a must-have utility for FileMaker professionals... the ability to search within calculation formulas is worth the price of admission alone, but the reports and automatic highlighting of problems within solutions saves a ton of development time as well. The security summary information is a fantastic way to diagnose issues across multiple privilege sets and troubleshoot during conversion. Inspector is an invaluable addition to our collective toolbox.

Inspector makes my life as FileMaker developer a lot easier; both when converting or updating old applications, or when I need a complete overview of a large project. It's one of the software solutions every developer should have in his toolbox.

| Inspector is a great tool for managing revisions to client systems. The various reports allow me to compare database files, manage auto- enter serial values, and keep track of the myriad details that go into managing and maintaining a complex database system. The error checking is more than thorough, and gives me a great snapshot of the current health of a system. If you manage even one complex database, Inspector should be the primary tool in your toolbox.

| Inspector provides several impressive features I'd never seen before in any type of FileMaker analysis software for developers. The ability to sort elements in reports by the element name allows me to view elements in the same order as I view them in FileMaker. Its new search and cross referencing capabilities are very powerful, very useful, and undoubtedly the crowning achievement of Inspector. FM::Nexus listened to the wants and wishes of fellow developers and created a top notch FileMaker development tool.

| Inspector has proven invaluable during development of my FileMaker 8 projects. Inspector gives me piece of mind that I am not missing something. Anytime I am not sure where I have used a element in a project it's only a few clicks away with Inspector.
Matt Klein - Small Business Computers

| Because Inspector was re-engineered for FileMaker 8 from the ground-up, it's faster, and searches are much better. You can now search for a string of text, say a field name or a variable name or something, and you don't have to know where the element resides (i.e. In a script, in a calc, etc.) in order for Inspector to find it. Also, the version comparison reports were impressive. There's a lot more, but you have to download to see for yourself.

| Inspector 1.0 is a terrific tool. I've used all MileMaker analysis tools, but Inspector 1.0 beats every-all!!!

| I just starting importing some of my old DDR's into Inspector 1.1 while I have some free time. Wow, it sure imports a lot faster now. Thanks.

| Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable! It is rare that a software company provides a significant update for free. I applaud your consideration for your customers and the speed with which you have released this update. Since this update not only includes support for Filemaker 8.5, but also adds an incredible speed boost for Intel-based Macs, it will be welcome by those developers fortunate enough to have upgraded to the current generation Macs. The added networking ability is an incredible bonus for many developers. Thanks for this upgrade for this Filemaker developer's essential tool.

| Recently, on commencing a new project, I ran Inspector - and I was amazed at the level of detail Inspector was able to provide me with. Inspector has to be the best analysis tool available for FileMaker and every developer should have a copy. I was able to clean up the files and now have complete confidence that I'm providing my customers with the best development possible.

| Just ran a full analysis using Insepctor 1.1, with references and dependencies. What took 14 hours was done in only 3 1/2. OH SNAP! I love the new Problem fixed buttons! Keep up the great work.

| It is really great to see you move analysis on FileMaker forward once again with Inspector. We really love the product. You really do make our development process more powerful with your tools. Inspector is so easy to use. Our VetFM application (http://www.vetfm.com) is up to 68,000 objects and making changes or performing analysis is so much more efficient with Inspector.

| ...Quite frankly, I don't see any competition at the moment. That's not to dis" any of the other fine products in this space, they all have their specialties, but this is a very nice graduation of a tool that I've always used and nothing out there is taking advantage of all that the FM8 DDR has to offer."

| I need to let you know that I am excited with what I am seeing and we are very pleased with Tim. He is very professional, knowledgeable, approachable and just makes us feel good about what we are doing with beezwax. He is an asset to your organization! "We are delighted... and it is not just the product (The Hive), it is also your level of support and, well, just the intelligence involved... it was exciting to see the enthusiasm of the developers. It is clear that this team enjoys their work and being part of beezwax..."

| The work you did for us was invaluable. All the mayors and delegates received the Filemaker document and many even continued to carry it around with them until the end of the conference. Many thanks! In my new job I will be using Filemaker again. A worthy program.

| Since its release, Inspector has been an integral part of our solution Q/A process. We use Inspector in the final stages of development to identify issues that our testers may have missed. In a recent FileMaker 6 to FileMaker 8 migration project, Inspector found a whopping 1700 issues which we were able to rapidly fix. Inspector has surely increased the quality of our products, and has lowered our time to market. The speed boost associated with the Inspector 1.1 release has allowed us to more tightly integrate Inspector into our Q/A process. Since the imports are dramatically faster, we can perform more frequent analysis as we zero in on the finished product.

| Inspector has proven invaluable during development of my FileMaker 8 projects. My current project was started nearly two years ago in FileMaker 7. I wrote several recursive custom functions at a time when my skill set was not really up to snuff when it came to recursion. Recently, I decided to clean up some of my recursive custom functions in order to require less parameters to be passed to the function when called. My early recursive functions worked, but required parameters that I later learned were unnecessary. There was one function that I used liberally throughout the product that fell into the category of too many parameters. Without Inspector, I never would have been able to figure out every place in the project that the function was used. I simply went down the list of references to the function that Inspector provided me and removed the unnecessary parameters from each instance. Inspector gives me piece of mind that I am not missing something. Anytime I am not sure where I have used a field in a project it's only a few clicks away with Inspector. For instance, as soon as FileMaker 8 came out, I replaced all references to global fields with script variables. At that time, Inspector wasn't available so I left all the previously referenced globals in my globals table just in case I missed some. The first thing I did when I got my hands on Inspector was to check all the references to the global fields in my globals table. I systematically when down the list of global fields removing those without any references. I then looked at the references to those global fields that did have references to see if I could eliminate the global field by using script variables. Inspector told me exactly where the referenced globals were used making it simple for me to analyze the need for them.

| Inspector is a great way to - well, inspect - your FileMaker 7/8 solutions. Whether you need a general overview of your files, or you are slogging around in the nitty-gritty, Inspector delivers. The documentation looks quite comprehensive, but I have not needed to refer to it yet. I found the interface to be very sophisticated, intuitive, and responsive.

| I've converted one of our relational databases from 6 to 8.5 and have discovered that I can't live without Inspector now! OMG, the time I'm going to save!! (Gee, who'd have thought!) I would like to order the full version as soon as possible and need information to fill out my requisition form. If you could give me a call as soon as you get in the office, that would be very helpful!

| It has saved me a lot of time in debugging my applications. It is now a required step in my development process. Before I release any project to any of my clients, I make sure that it has been analyzed by Inspector first. I don't own stock in FMNexus. I'm just very impressed with this tool, and I felt it was important to let other FileMaker developers know about it.
