Mac to FMPro6

[vhovanec1]

I want to move data from FMPro on a Mac to FMPro6 on Windows. The first time I tried to copy the Mac file, I found myself creating a "Read Only" copy. Is there a simple way of copying a Mac FMPro file, exporting it to my Windows machine and then merging it with existing data files in Windows FMPro6?

Not sure what you network capabilities are, but if your Macs can be seen on your TCP/IP network, just take the file from the Mac and put it on your machine. Then you can just open the existing file you want to put the data in, and run an import.

If you do not have your network set up like that, you could use FTP or e-mail to send the file to the Windows computer.

By the way, In Windows, all you have to do to write to a file is to right-click it, go to properties, and under Attributes, un-check read-only.

It appears you are coping to a cdrw, and when you put it on pc you can't modofy.

After you copy onto pc click on folder or icons and go to preferences

and change from read oly to archive. Once this is done you can modify.

BTW Mac to PC , make files have .fp5 extension at end of each file.
