Upgrading FileMaker Pro 5 & FileMaker Pro 6

In software terms, FileMaker Pro 5 and FileMaker 6 are starting to creak and gather dust. FM Studio can help you upgrade to the vibrant, powerful new version of FileMaker … and give your business new energy at the same time! 

FileMaker Pro 5 or 6 to FileMaker Pro 11: Why Upgrade? 

There are plenty of fantastic new tools to enjoy in FileMaker’s most recent version, if you’re used to running FileMaker Pro 5 or FileMaker 6!

The main reason that we do FileMaker upgrades from version 5 or 6 to the current version is a computer operating system upgrade – FileMaker 6 was the last version to support Mac OS 8 or 9, so if you’ve defected to Windows or upgraded to OS X, you’ll also need a new version of FileMaker.

However, you get plenty of other new goodies when upgrading, including:

• Multiple tables/file architecture
• Relationships graphs
• Calculation of variables
• Ability to use multiple windows
• Ability to create PDF reports and charts
• Script triggers – an easy way to automate your regular tasks, save lots of time and reduce errors
• Snapshot links
• Recurring imports to help save time
• Instant web publishing
• Native support for SQL databases

We recommend utilising our FileMaker consulting services when you upgrade from FileMaker Pro 5 or FileMaker 6 to the current version. We can help you see the applicability of new functions to your business systems, as well as provide training fro a smooth and effortless experience.
