I have been given a copy of a FileMaker 5.0 database, which was developed on a Mac, and then converted (At least I assume it has to be converted??) to run on a Windows Millennium machine.
I currently get error messages when updating certain fields, saying that the fields are read only. Sometimes it then proceeds to update regardless, and sometimes it won't. Sometimes I'll get the same error message 6 times in a
row, and it then doesn't update.
I have of course gone back to the developers and informed them of this problem. The developers have claimed that its a problem with Windows Millennium, and leave it at that. Being as one of the specifications for 6.0, and 5.5 Developer is that you are running Windows Millennium, how can this be?
Does anyone know whether there are any known system bugs concerning FileMaker 5.0 and Windows Millennium, and if they are fixable?
Or is this the developers copping out of making a cross-platform compatible tool?!
Thanks for any help you can give me!
