MacNut Posted April 4, 2001 Share Posted April 4, 2001 There is nothing special, take the FileMaker files ie (File_A.fp5, File_B.fp5, etc) copy them on a Zip disk. or compress them and email them, burn them on a CD. On the IBM (I assume you mean Windows?) copy the files or download them, you of course need FileMaker for Windows running in order to access the files.

Make sure that you have the files named with the ".fp5" extension. This is how Windows identifies they file type. Then make sure that you compress the files into a Stuffit archive. This prevents lots of little file translation errors. quote: On the IBM (I assume you mean Windows?) copy the files or download them, you of course need FileMaker for Windows running in order to access the files. Extract them using Stuffit Expander for Windows, and everything should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
