8 FileMaker Instant Web Publishing Guide
Publishing files from previous versions of FileMaker Pro
Because versions 9 and 10 of FileMaker Pro share the same format, Filemaker Pro 10 can open
FileMaker
Pro 9 files without converting them. You can even use FileMaker Pro 10 files with
FileMaker
Pro 9. However, any layout that contains new features will not be supported in
Instant
Web Publishing when you open the file in FileMaker Pro 9.
After you have created or opened a file in FileMaker Pro 10, FileMaker recommends that you do not make
database design or layout changes using FileMaker
Pro 9, particularly to features that have changed in
FileMaker
Pro 10.
