Connecting to FM 6 from FM 5 clients

[Will]

I've read that FileMaker Pro 6 uses the same file format as FileMaker Pro 5 and will open *fp5 files without converting them. If I have a file created in Filemaker Pro 5 can I host it on Filemaker Pro 6 and have Pro 5 clients connect to it?

Thanks.

Yes.

If developing with FMP 6 remember that features introduced in v6 (such as custom dialogs) won't work in earlier versions, so resist the temptation to use them.
