8 FileMaker Instant Web Publishing Guide
Publishing files from previous versions of FileMaker Pro
Because versions 9, 10, and 11 of FileMaker Pro share the same format, FileMaker Pro 11 can open
FileMaker
Pro 9 and 10 files without converting them. You can even use FileMaker Pro 11 files with
FileMaker
Pro 9 and 10. However, any layout that contains new features will not be supported in
Instant
Web Publishing when you open the file in FileMaker Pro 9 or 10.
After you have created or opened a file in FileMaker Pro 11, FileMaker recommends that you do not make
database design or layout changes using FileMaker
Pro 9 or 10, particularly to features that have changed
in FileMaker
Pro 11. To prevent a file from opening in an earlier version, choose File menu > Manage >
Security in FileMaker
Pro 11, then click the File Access tab. Select Prevent opening with earlier versions
(pre-FileMaker 11), then click Yes in the confirmation message.
