I have FileMaker pro 5.5 but there are no toolbars?! Regardless of the mode I'm in (browse, layout, etc.) the Toolbars option in the View menu is always grayed out. Anyone know what's up? Thanks.

Sorry I can't offer any help on this, but the same thing is true in the demo version. This is really weird. I was thinking about buying Filemaker 5.5, but it seems quite "clicky" though it seems to be about the easiest db program in the world. I'll probably still buy it, but now you have me determiend to find out about the Toolbars - Does "Help" say anything about it? Demo version does not seem to come with a help file.
 
This is ridiculous!

Toolbars Grayed Out Under View Menu In FileMaker Pro 5.5 For Mac OS X
------------------------------------------------------------------------

ISSUE:
Under Mac OS X (any Rev) with FileMaker Pro 5.5v1 and FileMaker Pro 5.5v2, Toolbars cannot be selected either in Browse mode or in Layout mode. The option for Toolbars under the View menu is grayed out.
RESOLUTION:
As documented in the FileMaker Pro 5.5 Readme for Mac OS X section 2.1.1. "FileMaker Pro 5.5 does not support toolbars in Mac OS X. All features are fully accessible from the menu bar."
This is specific to Mac OS X only. Installing the Mac OS 9 version of FileMaker Pro 5.5 while under Mac OS 9 will then enable you to boot FileMaker Pro in Classic mode once booted into Mac OS X. This will enable you to utilize the Toolbars while under Mac OS X.
FileMaker, Inc. has confirmed this issue with the FileMaker products listed.
