Filemaker provides the avenue for quick and dirty but by the time you
clean it up, try to control bad user input, struggle with the lack of a
programming language and implement the endless workarounds for features
that it lacks, it delivers a stillborn. 

It would seem that for networked environments, long term vision and
planning is a better program than quick turnaround implementations that
are more clumsy and costly in the long run.
