Hello,
I recently was given a some .fm3 files that I need to open. FM8 told me that I needed to open them with version 4.01. I didn't have that version but was able to get a hold of FM 4.1. However, on both the Mac & PC I get the following message:
"This is FileMaker Pro Release 4.1 "(name of my file)" was created by version 4.01 of FileMaker and cannot be opened by this version. Please call FileMaker, Inc. Technical Support."
I looked through FM's Knowledge Base and found something suggesting I use the "Recover" option. This yielded another error message (again on both Mac & PC):
"The file "(name of my file)" does not appear to be a FileMaker Pro 3.0 - 4.1 file. If this is a FileMaker file, it must be recovered using the corresponding version of FileMaker."
Now, I'm not a FileMaker Pro guru by any means, just a novice, though I'm pretty computer savvy. Any suggestions on how I can open these files or get the data out of them?
Thanks in Advance,
Jon
