Compatibility

FileMaker Pro 9 databases use the same file format (.fp7) as FileMaker Pro 8 and FileMaker Pro 7, therefore databases can easily be shared between these three versions. Features specific to the newer versions, are only supported in the newer versions (e.g. The new External SQL Data Source feature, introduced with FileMaker Pro 9, is only supported by FileMaker Pro 9.)
