Converting old Filemaker files

    My lovely LC 630 Mac has finally died, years of great service, I have succeeded in retriving the main files that I need. I have now bought a iMAC running on OS 10.5.

    I have also invested in Filemaker Pro 9

    I have two database files which were running on Filemaker 1.ob Ver 2

    According to Filemaker:

    Converting FileMaker Pro 1.x and 2.x databases
    FileMaker Pro 10 cannot convert databases created with FileMaker Pro 1.x or 2.x. To use these files with FileMaker Pro 10, you must convert them using FileMaker Pro 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x, and then convert them again using FileMaker Pro 10.
    Note Pre-7.0 versions of FileMaker Pro for Windows can convert only 2.x files. If you need to convert a 1.x file, convert the file on a Mac OS computer using FileMaker Pro 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x.

    Is there anyone on this board with FileMaker Pro 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x that could help me out, I do not mind paying a small fee, I live in South Dublin.

    I would like to publically thank ZENER for all the help and advice he has given me. I now have my databases converted and sitting in FMP 9.

    I have bought my computers, monitors and even my Saab on Boards.ie

    Great Service

    Thanks for the post but I should point out that it was other boards.ie users who originally helped me out as well as advice from the people on the filemaker forums. Just wanted to point that out :)

    The Mac forum here tends to be a nice friendly place with some extremely knowledgeable people willing to help - hats off to all of you !!
