Your advice seems very practical and do-able. Steve.
The question then, is what format the commercial EMR needs, and whether FMP12 can export the container images and key data into that format.

Does anyone else have some input here?

Thanks a bunch.

Get the report images as above, import the images and other required data (the key fields you mention) into a new FMP6 database (which will presumably be simpler than the whole system) and convert that to FMP12. From FMP12 you can easily export the report images with a suitable file name. By this method, you end up with a nice copy of FMP12 to play with. (You'll need it anyway, because the lovely commercial program you are being forced to use is sure to be short of a few screws...)
