Hello! A client has come to me with a FileMaker II database (password protected), and wants to be able to use it with FileMaker Pro 4.1. I have Pro3, 4, 4.1, 5 and 5.5, and none of these are able to convert the file (they seem to think it was made by v4.01Pro).

Is this because of the password protection, or is there a product I'm missing to bring the files (almost) up-to-date?

Thanks!

First, do you mean FileMaker II or FileMaker 2.0? If you really mean FM II, you will probably need to convert it with an older version of FM than 4.0 first. Try 2.1v3 and if that doen't work, try converting it with FM 1.0 first, then 2.1v3, and then 4.1.
