I run Filemaker Pro 4.0 on both my Mac and PC. The version of Filemaker Pro 5.0 is done by a different company, and their version is not even compatible with 4.0 on the PC or 3.0 on the Mac. I would suggest you get an older version of 4.0 for the PC and then you would have no work to do to convert. Of course, Microsoft Access is a good database, and Paradox 9 from Corel sometimes comes with Wordperfect. I never did like Paradox, though. Also, the disk your Filemaker came on, may work on both platforms - mine did even though that was NOT advertised!
