On the serious rewrite problem ... - hugh10_dotmac

Hi, it seems people dont like Filemaker 7! But is there an alternative? I have 30 year of scientific data on Filemaker 2 files, but it doesnt run well in the Classic environment, and i would like to update to something better. Do I have to buy v.7 and go through the pain of conversion? or is there another option? A man in the Apple Service dept told me that Filemaker 6 seems more stable and easier to run on OSX - but is it still obtainable? And where, if so? hugh10@dotmac.com

I have played around with the newest version of Open Office for the x86 architecture. Unfortunately, the OSX version of the same is available only to a small group of Beta testers & developers. However, that said it will be available for OSX at some future date, and it has an interface and functionality that is quite close to that of MS Access. I too wish we had an OSX version of Access to use, but since MS doesn't seem to be developing one, perhaps the Ooo version will work for us. I just wish I could play with it now!
