FileMaker Pro 10/Pro 10 Advanced databases use the same file format (.fp7) as FileMaker Pro 9/Pro 9 Advanced and FileMaker Pro 8.x/Pro 8.x Advanced therefore databases can easily be shared between these versions. While FileMaker Pro 7/Developer 7 have the same file format, they are no longer supported due to product obsolescence.
Features specific to the newer versions are only supported in the newer versions (e.g. Script Triggers and Send Mail via SMTP introduced in FileMaker Pro 10/Pro 10 Advanced, are only supported by FileMaker Pro 10/Pro 10 Advanced).

Additional requirements (all platforms)

  Any computer accessing FileMaker Pro files over a network will need to have a licensed installation of versions 8.x, 9 or 10 of FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Pro Advanced.
