Just ran the test, and got the results I remembered. I opened a PC file set using the runtime application. I closed ebase and replaced the data files with a new set of files from a Mac download. When I attempt to launch, I get the dialog "This file cannot be opened because it does not belong to this solution." The data files work find cross-platform with FileMaker but it appears that there is some issue with the packaging of a runtime solution that doesn't work. I don't think there is a solution without using FileMaker. You need the full application at the destination end of the transfer, or at least to migrate the data file-by-file between the two data sets. > >-----Original Message----- >From: Dave Shaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 11:22 AM >To: TechRocks Support >Subject: [support] RE: moving e-base from an iMac to a PC > > >>I was a little concerned the first time I did a Mac to PC conversion, but >it >>turned out to be painless.
