Opening files from previous versions
FileMaker Pro 4.0 can open files from all versions of FileMaker Pro for
the Mac OS and from FileMaker Pro 2.x, 3.x, and 4.0 for Windows. To
use files created with FileMaker Pro 1.x or 2.x, you must convert them
to FileMaker Pro 4.0.
Important You do not need to convert 3.x files. In FileMaker Pro 4.0,
you can open files created with FileMaker Pro 3.x; in FileMaker 3.x, you
can open files created with FileMaker Pro 4.0. However, new 4.0
features aren’t supported when you open files in 3.x. For example,
rotated fields will appear as horizontal (left to right) fields in 3.x.
To convert and open a file:
1. Start FileMaker Pro 4.0.
