HI,
I'm about to start work on a NGO's donations database.
Is in FileMaker 8.5, I'm on FM14 on updated Mac.
Questions:
1. Will I run into unexpected problems updating their database. It's got a lot of tables and relationships, portals, etc. but nothing to funky.
2. If I go the other way and try to dig up a copy of 8.5 out of my archives, would that work on an updated Mac?
thankks!
Maybe on #2. I have FM11 working on 10.11, I've heard some people have it working on 10.12. But it's always a bit of a crap shoot installing on unsupported OSes.
On #1: you can't use 14 to work on their files unless they also upgrade to at least FM12. The file format is different. They have .fp7, FM14 uses .fmp12
