Angus The upgrade from FMP6 (or FMS5) to FMP7+ is not trivial. Changes in Filemaker were so great between those versions that, in the case of a complicated solution, it is often more effective to start again (ie rewrite the solution) than to convert. This might mean a huge amount of work and cost. A former client of mine is just now going through the process. They've been at it for a year or more. Big job. But in the end it has to be done because the hardware to run FMP6/FMS5 just won't be available. Anyway, I imagine this is the reason why the original poster is keen to find hardware that will run such an old version. Steve
