Will FM Dev Tool 5.0 bind FMP 5.5 files

[Tony59]

I imagine this has been asked a couple of times but couldn't find a clear answer

Essentially will FMP Developer Tool 5.0 bind files created under FMP 5.5 complete with 5.5 features to create runtime solutions.

Or do I have to get FM Developer 5.5.

The reason for asking is I have only had Developer 5.0 for a bit over a year and this is a "hobby' at this stage. Some of the features in FMP 5.5 look appealing.

As long as you don't use the 5.5 script steps or calculation formulas - particularly some of the 5.5 Status functions, the files will work just fine after binding in Developer 5.0.

Most 5.5 script steps are just ignored in 5.0, but may give an error message. Unrecognized calculation definitions will generate an error.

Thanks very much for that

As I suspected if I want 5.5 features for a solution I need 5.5 Developer.

I will now have to see how much I really want the 5.5 features

Again much appreciation for your reply
