whospedrodaddy Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Someone is sending me a FileMaker 7 database, but I only have FileMaker 5. Will I be able to work with the FM7 database in FM5, or do I have to upgrade to FM7? Also, If I do upgrade, can I work with my existing FM5 databases in FM7? [Can I have both versions on my computer?] Thanks for your help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Witberg Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 You can not open fm7 files in fm5. You can import fm5 files into fm7. kjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Can I have both versions on my computer? [/ QUOTE ] Absolutely! Before converting a complex solution, be sure to read the FM7 Foundations and Migration Methodologies tech brief on filemaker.com. It outlines many of the conversion issues that people encounter.
