Newbies macwino Posted May 3, 2005 Newbies Share Posted May 3, 2005 I use FMPro 5.5 and will be upgrading to Tiger any day now. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if FMPro 5.5 databases of this type will work with Tiger or whether I will have to redo it in FMPro 7. It is a one machine database with no server or web access involved. I have FMPro 7, but my database was too complex to transfer from 5.5 to 7 without lots of reprogramming, so I've not bothered. However, if I can no longer run it with Tiger, then I'll have to bite the bullet and redo the database from scratch. Thanks, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies rkane Posted June 12, 2005 Newbies Share Posted June 12, 2005 Robert- I'm in the same prediciment. Did you go ahead with the Tiger upgrade? Did FMPro 5.5 work with it? Thanks very much, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew F Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I haven't had trouble running .fp5 databases on Tiger. However I have used FM v.6 to run them I haven't tried v.5.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies rkane Posted June 14, 2005 Newbies Share Posted June 14, 2005 Thanks. (Do you know if it's possible to still get FM v.6?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Yes. You buy a volume license of FMP 7 and "downgrade" to FMP 6. Or any other older version I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies LwoodPDowd Posted June 16, 2005 Newbies Share Posted June 16, 2005 I've had no problem with FMPro 5.5 on Tiger. I haven't used it alot, we only have tiger on a new iMac that is a lab-wide computer. A nice little test bed for all of our software before we make any upgrades. The databases I've accessed have been very basic files, so your milage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies harp Posted June 21, 2005 Newbies Share Posted June 21, 2005 Anyone have the link to downgrade volume licenses? Filemaker support sent me the retail one and incomplete phone number for volume support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
