Hi,
I am working with a very old version of File Maker Pro on an equally old Mac - my original program disc is lost/gone since it was last loaded 15? years ago. This Mac has a CD drive but only reads not burns.

I now need to get the program (with the business data base I have on it) onto another old Mac (Performa 6400/200)- and am stumped short of trying to get my hands on an original File Maker Pro disc. This Mac has system 8.5 on it.

The version of File Maker Pro I have is 2.0.
Might someone have this lying around to either sell or give away?

I would be most grateful,
kristl@sympatico.ca

Sorry, I don't have a direct solution for you, but I am pretty sure that FileMaker file formats have not changed a lot between versions. You may be able to recover your data with a later version.

Filemaker offers this trial of Filemaker 2.1 (historical):
