I think you're trying to import .fp5 files into FileMaker 7/8/9. As
you have found out, that's a no-go. You must either convert the .fp5
files by opening (not importing) and re-saving them with FM8, or
export from FileMaker 5 using another format (I like merge).

Hi,
I'm a little baffled by File import in Filemaker 8.5.
I'm building a new system in 8.5 to replace a number of databases
built in FM 5.
I've built a number of tables in 8.5 from scratch and I'd like to
start importing the data from the FM 5 databases into the new
tables in FM 8.5.
But when I try to File import...file and select the file with the
exported data the FM 8.5 dialog has all my tables grayed out.
I can create a new table but I want to import into the tables
already created.
What am I missing???
