<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black">FileMaker 12 employs a new file format, the first since the upgrade from version 6 to version 7. While far less involved than the previous file format change,
conversion to FileMaker 12 merits planning and testing, particularly in multi-user environments.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black">Because FileMaker 12 is not backward compatible with earlier versions, users should have a full conversion plan in place before
installing FileMaker 12 on client machines and before converting existing files.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black">IS&T recommends that, for complex systems, users aim to complete their migration within 12-18 months. Less time will be needed for local stand-alone solutions.</span></p>
