Hi - I have a shrink wrapped solution that imports data from previous version into new version when I do an upgrade.  I'm using FMP 13, and some of my users will be upgrading from FMP 11 versions.  So I'll need to convert those databases before import.  Obviously, it they already have a FMP12/13 version database, no conversion is necessary.

However - my solution changes the file extension to the same extension regardless of the version - so I can't tell from file extension whether a conversion is needed.  

Is there some way to test a file via a script to see whether it's a pre-FMP12 version that needs to be converted?  

 

Thanks,

Michael

From within the file, yes: use the Get (ApplicationVersion) function. From the outside (i.e. from another file), I don't think so.
