Dear all,

Does anyone know of a company that will take data from Filemaker 3 and convert it to Filemaker 8.5? I would like it to be in the bay area if poss.

Thanks

FileMaker 9 (the latest) should be able to import the database directly. It might mess with the layout some, but you should get something fairly workable. And since you are coming from 3 you probably don't have many features to worry about perfect compatibility. You might have some work to do getting rid of the repeating fields (they still work in 9, but there are better ways of doing things).
