How Can I Open a Filemaker 7 file in FM 5?

Question

I used to have a Mac (until it died).  I had some files on their I created with FM 7.  On my PC laptop, I have FM 5.  I have the Mac files on my PC, but because the version I have of FM is older, it won't open them, and the FM disc I had for my Mac is Mac only.

Any way I can convert those files so I can access the info?

Since I have already bought FM twice, I don't want to shell out more $$ to buy it a 3rd time.

Thanks

Hello,

What I would do is download a trial copy of FileMaker Pro 11, open the FMP7 files you have and export the data of these files to xls or csv. Once you have this data on this format you can import it onto your copy of FM5.

Do take into consideration that FM5 may not be compatible with your current OS, making your copy of FM5 crash often, which can corrupt your database.
