stefangs Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 i do not have FM 7, so perhaps one of you could give me some insight on this. i understand that the file format has changed and 5.x and 6.x files need to be converted. i'm distributing a solution (both runtime and documents only) created with FMD 6. the solution has a special startup script that only runs once when the solution is being opened for the very first time. three questions: 1. what happens if the user didn't convert the file first, but simply tried opening if with FM7? 2. if the user converts the files, does that mess up (bypass) the script that is supposed to only run once? 3. if the user uses the v6 runtime but also has FM7 on his drive, will they interfere because of the .fp5 endings? thanks, stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Knippel Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 If the user open the files in FM7, they will be converted to FM7 format, although the original files are left as is. It is unknown whether converting the file will mess up your opening script, it really depends upon the script itself. You can have FM3/4, 5/6 and 7 all on the same machine. The EXT or Creator Code will keep the files associated with the proper application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
