It's a CONSUMER product. If you want the higher end features that's what FileMaker is for. Seriously, why do people expect more from consumer products? What you might want isn't necessarily what the people this product is AIMED at want. Bento isn’t designed for the connection to a shared datasource. It’s a CONSUMER product.

I can only assume that they don't want to eat into their Filemaker business. I'm not interested in their upgrade to 2, especially when they don't consider me as a current customer by not offering at least a discount to current users. I hate being treated as if I don't count as a current customer, its disrespectful. Bento 2 still will not let you share from a common database source, something everyone has begged them for.

"In previous versions of Bento there was a panel on the right side of the window. This panel contained all of the fields for the current database. In 2.0, this has been moved over to the right side below the Library list." Last paragraph should read “left”!
