I'm somewhat new to FM but decades old to programming (Fortran, anyone?).

 

First question: I have a Windows FMP database in FM 8.5 (file type "fp7") that needs to move to Bento on a Mac. Is there a path directly from fp7 to Mac Bento or do I need to first upgrade to FM 11 or FM 12?

 

Second (related) question): My customer is already involved somewhat in Bento on the Mac. Is there a path to get his files *back* to FM 8.5? If not, is there a path to get his files back to FM 11 or 12?

 

Thanks much for helping this novice.

You cannot convert files from Bento to FMP, or FMP to Bento. Data entered into Bento can be imported into a FMP database, but that's not the same as "converting" the file: only re-using the data.

Thanks Vaughan. That saves a search that was bound to be fruitless. Much appreciated. I can now use that time to think through a different approach.
