Brudderman Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I am using FMP 11 Advanced and need to buy a new computer. I'm looking at Windows 7 64-bit OS but see that Filemaker doesn't officially support it: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5587/kw/windows%207%2064-bit On the other hand, Microsoft alleges compatibility: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Filemaker%20Pro&v=FileMaker%2c%20Inc.&uid=11&l=en&pf=0π=3&s=FileMaker%20Pro&os=64-bit I'm just wondering if anyone is using Filemaker on a Windows 64-bit OS and with what results. Thanks! James www.james-mc.com Words To Live By Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentHedden Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 It is contradictory, huh? I don't know where M.S. got it's information, but FM11 is NOT supported in 64 bit mode. Or as FM puts it, they haven't tested it fully, so they can't support it. Makes sense. But I've been running it that way for a while now with only one side effect - We're also using Office 2010. A plugin that we're using from Productive Computing that interacts with O2010 will simply not work. It works fine in 32bit mode, but not 64.

Matt Leach Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I'm using FMA 11 and windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. Been setup this way for about 6 months, no ill effects as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudderman Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks for the info, Brent. Which version of Windows 7 are you using? I use Office 2007 without any plug-in so should be OK there. James www.james-mc.com Words To Live By Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudderman Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Do you use Microsoft Office, Matt? And if so, what version? Thanks! James www.james-mc.com Words To Live By Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterBoss Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I know this is a Windows based post, but it's been working fine on 64 bit Snow Leopard for some time. Speaking of 64 bit, anybody hear anything as to when it's going to be a 64 bit application? Christopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentHedden Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 We're using Win 7 Enterprise, 64 bit. As long as you're not using plugins, then you should be OK. I haven't seen any problems running under 64 bit, but I'm sure there are some. Just be aware that if you call FileMaker with a problem, they won't help you. The first thing they'll ask is what OS you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
