Upgrading from server 3.0 to 5.0

[ydobug]

I have FileMaker Server 3.0 installed on a Appleshare server, being accessed by macs. I have been instructed to upgrade to an NT server and Filemaker Server 5.0 accessed both by mac and pc's. My question is..will the files convert from 3.0 to 5.0 with little or no problems and if they were created using client 3.0 will I be able to access them in a later client?

The conversion from 3 to 5 is pretty painless, and you should not have any problems.

True the conversion is painless, but to answer your second question, you have to have Filemaker Pro 5 (client) to use filemaker pro 5 server.
