FM Server 5 on Windows Server 2008?

[extramsg]

I have a client that wants to continue using Filemaker 5 until Charlton Heston's ghost pulls it at gunpoint from their cold dead fingers. They're currently running it on Windows Server 2000 and need to upgrade to Windows Server 2008. Anyone doing so? Any problems?

Thanks.

No idea, but the best chance would be to run it on 32 bit Windows and not 64 bit.

Probably not going to work. They need to upgrade.

extramsg, how did this turn out? We have the same issue -- our IT department wants to upgrade the server OS to Windows 2008, but we are stuck on FMS 5.5 for at least another year. Did you ever make this work, or discover definitively that it doesn't?

Haven't tested it yet. Don't currently have 2008, though I'll be ordering it soon. I suspect it will work fine as long as it's 32 bit. And if it doesn't, I'll just put the ******* thing on a workstation and call it good.
