Thanks for the very quick reply. I guess I could install the new version on my home Mac and their PC? I seem to recall you're allowed to do that if not using simultaneously.

It is so exciting to actually be writing something for someone else, and frustrating to come up against this, but I guess that's the nature of the job!

Yes, this is true. Filemaker 12 has a new format and a new file ending. Once you convert the v9 database to v12 it can't be opened anymore in v9.

Can I double-check something with you guys?

I'm writing my first commercial database (! after 15 years of doing my own stuff). I have to buy Filemaker for the client. However I'm still on 9, the new version will be 12. Is it true that having been opened in 12, my database will no longer run on my version 9? I use a work copy, but if this is true I will have to buy my own, which will cost more than I'm being paid for the job!


Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards
