FileMaker databases with the. However, there are some compatibility issues between v16 and v to keep in mind. See Upgrading from versions below for more information. Databases with the. See below for more information on file conversion. If you are thinking of upgrading to the latest version of FileMaker, now is also good opportunity to take inventory of all of your FileMaker files to determine if they are properly secured and to make sure that they are not being used to store PIRN data.
Inactive files required for archival purposes should be converted to the current version of FileMaker and backed up or archived, and earlier versions of those files sitting on your computer should be removed from your local machine. FileMaker 16 uses the same.
Users simply upgrade their client to FileMaker Pro 16, and for hosted databases, the server is upgraded to FileMaker Server There are, however, a few compatibility issues to be aware of.
Each new version of FileMaker comes with new client-facing features available for implementation. While versions all work with the same file format, new features in later versions are not backward compatible and will not be available to users of earlier versions. In most cases, such features would simply be invisible to clients running earlier versions.
For example, v12 users will not see slide controls or popovers which were introduced in v Version 16 introduced few major end user changes of note, but if you are developing in FileMaker 16, it is best to make sure all the users of your system have updated to 16 as well. You also may want to enable the file setting that specifies the minimum version of FileMaker Pro allowed to open your database file s ; this will prevent users running earlier versions from logging in and seeing unexpected results.

I would expect some layout tweaks might be necessary, so that doesn't worry me a lot. I am also familiar with javascript and css FWIW.
Sounds like I just need to download the trial and see how that works out for me. When I considered upgrading a year or two ago, the license implied that this was not possible. I would have upgraded back then, but this put me off. Before I retired in , I had a filemaker server at my company and a bunch of clients that ran a rather complex database I created. Don't need that capability anymore, all of my data is local on the three computers I mentioned.
This is not a priority now however, but something that might interest me in the future. I would not want to pay anything more right now for that capability. One thing I have used filemaker for is processing geodata for the maps that I make. Some of these databases are rather complex, with multiple tables, lots of calculations and a million or more records. In the near term, I plan to upgrade the Macs to either Mojave or Catalina and will just replace the PC with a new Windows 10 workstation-class machine.
