File formats and versions
File versions
FileMaker has been around for over 30 years. In the course of this long time there have been various file formats. These include
- fp4
- fp7
- fmp12
These file formats were introduced with the corresponding version (4, 7, 12) and will be maintained until a new format is introduced. Thus, the .fmp12 format is valid from FileMaker Pro 12 (April 2012) until today (FileMaker Pro 2023).
FileMaker Pro Versions
The file format is important, but FileMaker itself is also updated. Each new FileMaker version gets previously unknown features. FileMaker Pro 12 and FileMaker Pro 2023 use the same file format, but current versions support many more features. Thus, it may be necessary to obtain a current version of FileMaker if you want to use newer features.
