![]() ![]() That worked and I could finally install FileMaker Pro 6 convert the database with it.įileMaker Pro 6 converted the database to the FP3 file format, compatible with FileMaker Pro versions 3 thru 6. So I found and connected an external USB optical drive. Probably because of dust inside or something. But discovered the drive does not consider my CD readable. So I found a CD, but then could not make the CD tray out of the iMac as the keyboard I used was too new and the system did not want to recognize the Eject key… Searching on the internet revealed I need “Eject Extras”.Īfter installing that I could finally open the CD tray. Our backup of the installer on our server was unfortunately corrupt. So I wanted to install FileMaker Pro 6 on it, but that wasn’t as easy as I expected. My colleagues fortunately found one iMac G4 that was still operational, and were able to install Mac OS 9 on it… In order to convert the database using FileMaker Pro 6 for Mac, we needed an old Mac that would run this software. So an adventure has started… Step 1: Convert to FP3 The Windows version can only convert FMP 2 or newer file format. ![]() Actually, the latest version of FileMaker Pro able to convert FMP 1.0 format is FileMaker Pro 6. Even FileMaker Pro 11, which is the oldest one that I can still run on my macOS Sierra, could not import that. It was a slight challenge as FileMaker Pro 16 can no longer directly import FMP 1.0 databases. Just like recently, when a customer contacted us, asking for help with converting his invoicing solution, made in FileMaker Pro 1.0, to the current version. Occasionally, the history decently knocks on the door, checking if we remember. As time passes by, we quickly and easily get used to new technologies and new versions of all the apps we use.
