The FM Pro website - v5.5 does not mention XP. It does mention 2000, NT 4.0, Me, 98 and 95.
http://www.filemaker.com/products/fm_requirements.html Now that doesn't mean it won't work, it may mean only that the Filemaker website isn't up to date. -----Original Message----- From: info [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 5:21 PM To: TechRocks Support Subject: [support] Re: support digest: March 20, 2002 One quick easy question-will Filemaker Pro 5 work on Windows XP? That's it and, if possible, I need a quick answer. We're buying a new hard drive and want to be sure that Filemaker Pro 5 is compatible. Many thanks!
