Will FM pro 11 open/work FM 8.5 databases

Hi,

I have FM database solution, accessed by a number of Win XP pcs running FM pro 8.5, and a Win Server 2003 running FM 8.5 server.

I need to get three more FM Pro licences (as 3 more Win XP PCs need to access the database). Since I cannot purchase FM Pro 8.5 any more, I assume my only option is to purchase FM Pro 11.

But I am concerned that those PCs running FM Pro 11, will not be able to open and use the FM 8.5 databases. Does any one know if this is possible, and will all the features of 8.5 work in 11?

Or, is my safest option to upgrade the server and current PCs to all ver 11?

Thanks

The FMP 11 clients should work fine. But I would still consider upgrading, since (in addition to useful new features) you can only get the upgrade discount on versions 8 or 8.5 until Sep. 23, 2010. That includes server (BTW, there was no server 8.5, you must have 8). If you decide to upgrade, you should compare that to a bundle discount, that might even be cheaper than the upgrade depending on number of total licenses.
