Santa Clara, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/15/2010 -- FileMaker, Inc. today announced the Bento 3 Event Planner, a customized set of six new templates that make it easy and fun for Mac users to organize event details all in one place.

The Bento 3 Event Planner includes a free 30-day trial of the popular Bento 3 for Mac personal database, plus six professionally designed, ready-to-use templates including Events, Tasks, Expenses & Invoices, Locations & Venues, Contacts, and Vendors. The Bento 3 Event Planner is available today by free download from the Bento Template Exchange (http://www.bentotrial.com/bep/?ovmkt=6C918AC50A1A462AAFF44534BD0EADAA).

All six templates in the Bento 3 Event Planner are linked together, allowing information to flow from one template to the next, without the need for repetitive data entry. To organize events on the go, the new Bento 3 Event Planner lets customers synchronize information between their Mac and Apple iPad or iPhone devices running either Bento for iPhone or Bento for iPad, both sold separately.
