We succesfully run Filemaker 3, 4 , 5, 6 and 7. I have not tired 7 on anything but OS x yet, but the others run on 9. The problem is more that you can not convert the database in one step from II to 5. I am not sure since I have not tried any conversions that far back, but my guess is that you should convert to v3 and from there to 5 (3 and 4 are the in the same format, 5 and 6 are in the same format) Maybe, if I dig long enough in my archives I could find a conversion tool, or maybe that is for a conversion even further back _ I can�t remember. Anyhow it came from the Internet.
