Notes
• If new database creation has been disabled in your installation of FileMaker Pro, it will
not be possible to convert foreign file types such as Microsoft Excel or tab delimited
files into FileMaker Pro databases. However, you can still import the data from other
file types into FileMaker Pro (if you open the database with a password that allows
you to import). If you need more information, contact your system administrator.
