Database Forum / FileMaker Topics / May 2004Does Filemaker 'Get Along' With Other DBs?
Hi, It looks like we're angling towards using Filemaker but I wondered, are there any problems to watch for when installing it on a machine that already has a DB installed? ( For our scenario it would likely be Access that's already installed. ) Do they cohabit without problems or are there gotchas to watch out for? Appreciate any and all input. TIA, Gerry Murphy In a word - No. In fact, it is hard enough to get most databases to read each other's files, on purpose. You can also have different versions of FileMaker installed and they too do not have problems coexisting on the same HD.

If this is the case, then there shouldn't be any problems. Michael Myett > In a word - No. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> >>Gerry Murphy Michael, That is the way I read it too. Did you miss my first sentence of my first reply "In a word - No"?

And in fact you can even convert Access databases to FileMaker 7 with FmPro Migrator (www.fmpromigrator.com). David Simpson > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Gerry Murphy |
