FileMaker 6 compatibility with Tiger - Clients and Server

[soxhappy]

Hi. We are still running our database in FileMaker 6 for clients and Server 5.5.

We have a cross platform environment with most macs on OSX panther

and pc's on windows 2000 or NT.

Our server is on a standard G5 Dual 2 GHz Power PC running Mac OS X 10.3.5

We want to upgrade our Mac Clients to Tiger so we can upgrade our Adobe Creative Suite.

Can we upgrade our FileMaker Mac Clients to Tiger and leave the Server as it is?

Or do we need to upgrade our Server G5 as well?

In either event, are there any conflicts between

Tiger

and FileMaker Client 6 or FileMaker Server 5.5 in either of the following

Two Scenarios:

1:

Server stays at 10.3.5 (or goes to 10.3.9)

Mac Clients go to Tiger (10.4.6??)

2:

Server goes to Tiger (10.4.6??)

Mac Clients go to Tiger (10.4.6??)

thanks.

Should be fine either way.

Note that FM6 has compatibility problems on Intel Macs.

Do you know what those problems are on the intel...

I know rosetta will slow performance.

>But the speed difference of the machine means it's undetectable.

I know that 10.4.8 had a rosetta floating point bug

>corrected in 10.4.9+

Is there anything else?

[Ender]

As I recall, there are problems with the Mod() function not returning correct results.

I think that was the 10.4.8 rosetta floating point bug which was fixed (10.4.9/10)

That said i would not trust financial things to this setup ... it could break any day!!!

tick, tick, tick ... here comes 10.5...
