Server 7 host older files

[tigergirl]

This may be a ridiculous question, but I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere- my office may want to start running Server rather than continuing with FMP's file sharing capability. All of the computers are running either FMP 5.5 or 6. Can we install Server 7 and have it run these older files, or do we have to get Server 5.5? I'd like to get something that we can grow into if possible, without having to upgrade the entire office at once.

Thanks!

FileMaker Server 7 cannot serve older files. The file format changed for 7 and so the version of Server can only run files in its format.

Sorry.
