Hello Ingvild and Cherie!
No...that is no longer true, Ingvild. The new SignBank8 does not have  
that problem. FileMaker changed that with the FileMaker 7, 8 and 8.5...

So SignBank8 has some improvements...it is smoother. You can close  
any window without closing the whole program.

Do you think you can get FileMaker 8.5 from Norway, Ingvild? I will  
not have SignBank8 ready for a few weeks...and then we need to beta  
test it ;-)

Val ;-)
