Going from FM5 to 6, how hard?

[Morgan19]

My company is getting ready to upgrade to FM6 after having used 5 (both Server and client) for many years. We've just upgraded all the Macs in the office to OSX so the Classic-only 5 is far too clunky now but we're not quite willing to take the plunge into the all-new 7 yet.

Can someone give me an idea of how easy/hard it'll be to update our FM5 software, including client and server, to FM6? Will our database files be ok? How about custom records we've made (layouts, fields, info, etc.)? Anything else we should know about?

Thanks,

I'm sorry, I meant we're going to FM6 (client) and FM5.5 (server).

I don't recall any major issues in doing what you plan, I would recommend that you run all of your updates for FileMaker after you upgrade.

It shouldn't effect any custom layouts etc.

Everything will be OK in the end.
If it's not OK, then it's not the end
