Laura,
We can provide a set of empty v1.00 files if you need them. I agree,
however, that your best plan is to migrate the current customized files, as
long as they work well for you. I often copy full filesets back and forth
between Macs and PCs and they work fine. As long as you have the same
version of the software running, it's just a matter of copying the files
over your network or on a Zip disk. On the PC, you may have to select "All
Files" in the Open dialog, since FileMaker doesn't recognize files without
its own extension unless you force it to do so.
As I recall, you also need to upgrade your files at the same time to run on
FMP version 5. I would first copy the files to the PC, then go through the
upgrade process published by ebase for 1.02 files. It's virtually the same
for v1.00. NB: move *all* the files at once, not just some of them. ebase
stores data in many files when certain changes are made. Using only a
partial set of files could cause errors later.
