Default FM8 and Windows Vista - 05-10-2007 , 03:43 AM






Hello NG,

I wonder if it is possible to set up filemaker 8 on Windows Vista.
Who knows?

Thanks for information,
Jules Bach

The assumption should be "no". Even 8.5 requires patches for Vista.

You might be able to get it running in compatibility mode, but
obviously that wouldn't be a recommended or supported option, and
there may be odd side effects.

The last thing anyone here wants is to put you in a situation where FM
is crashing, potentially corrupting data.

If you run Vista, run 8.5; it's fully backwards compatible with v8
databases.

-regards,
Dave
