5.5 was really robust. I still have a client on that. It started as
a small runtime on Windows for a lawn care business and morphed to
full CRM + scheduling and billing on a network. I had to go to Ebay
to get copies of 5.5/6 for him about 5 years ago. The only calls have
been for feature additions.
If durability is the hallmark of quality, 5.5 is right up there.
Don't worry I've worked it out it was Hold the Cntrl and Shift keys down
Client's still happy after 12 years with the first call for help.

Hi,
A client of mine has just called to say he has a message 'file has
been damaged use the recovery command'
This is from a runtime solution I created 12 years ago in filemaker
pro 5.5. Now, my memory is not what it used to be, however, I do
remember there was a key to hold down when the damaged file was
opened from the runtime solution that would recover and rename the
damaged file. I can't test my thoughts as I don't have a computer
that will run 5 anymore.
Any old timers remember that option please
