FMPv4 & WinMe

[danjacoby]

The problem with posting on other bulletin boards within the FM Forums is that so few people check them.

A client has FMPv4 on a PC running Win95. They need to upgrade their system software in order to use a new CD-R they've bought.

Can they upgrade to WinMe and still run FMPv4, or do they need to upgrade to FMPv5?

Official statement from FileMaker regarding FileMaker Pro 5.0 and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me):

FileMaker Pro 5.0 is ready for Microsoft Windows Me. Although no formal certification exists for this operating system, software certified for Windows 98 (such as FileMaker Pro 5.0) is compatible with Microsoft Windows Me.
