Question

Helloi buyed the new FM 11 but the others user in my lan have FM 8; is possible save in FM11 in FM8 version?thanks

Yes, but your choice for backwards compatibility is Save As MIF 7; once you open a FM 8 doc, it will be upgraded to FM11 & no longer openable by FM8

Art_Campbell1 · Answer

You can always preserve some backwards compatibility by saving as MIF. A

FM11 MIF should -- note the should -- be able to be opened in earlier

versions. You lose any "new" features, but the early FM MIF parser should

just discard "new" information.

Also, there are export filters, some not implemented, that let you save to

an earlier version as Jeff noted.
