August 1, 200619 yr Newbies Hello, I want to open an fm datase on an pc with filemaker version 5.0 this message appears... "this is filemaker pro release 5.0 this database was created by version 4.01 and cannot be opened" The fm file from 4.01 was created on an mac. What can I do to open the 4.01 file on my pc with fm 5.0? Please advice.. Nico
August 1, 200619 yr Are we talking about FileMaker [color:red]Pro 4 or FileMaker 4? A filemaker Pro 4 file should convert just fine to the FP5 file format. FileMaker 4 (circa 1987) predates FileMaker Pro 1. To open a FileMaker 4 file you need to open it with FileMaker Pro 2.1 (you can get that from the FM FTP site) before it can be converted to FileMaker Pro 5
