Mac and PC FileMaker use the same file format, so no translation is
needed. You've got the right idea, that the Creator and Type codes
are not set when they come from the PC. Not sure how you changed
that, but I suspect that it didn't get done right - the Mac still
sees these files as belonging to a different application, either PC
FileMaker or the runtime application. Are you attempting to open them
by double-clicking the file? If you haven't already, try launching
FileMaker, then using the menu item File>Open.
