Upgrading To FileMaker Pro 11?
If you’re intrigued by the many new features that FileMaker Pro 11 offers, and you are using a version of FileMaker Pro prior to 7, upgrading might be a significant undertaking. Evaluating your existing systems is the first step to insuring a smooth migration. In past versions, a straight drag and drop conversion was often all that was necessary.
