Unable to open 8.5 DB in version 9

[LGlasscock]

Unable to open a database file created in 8.5 in version 9.0. It just hangs when trying open. I've tried deleting all file references and validations using files not accessible on computer where I am trying to open the file. I've deleted all users requiring authentication by anything other than Filemaker Pro.

Open the file in FMP 8.5 and save a compressed copy. Open this copy in FMP 9.0.

Thanks. I've tried this but I still can't open the file. It still just hangs and FM doesn't respond.

It hangs in FMP 8.5 or FMP 9.0?
