The Conversion.log file may not indicate every item in the file that needs to be corrected. After you convert any file, you should review the Conversion.log file for items that may need to be corrected. In some cases, you may need to correct items in the original file and then convert the file again. You might need to correct or re-create items in the converted file that did not convert properly. The contents of the original files are not modified, and you can open them in the version that created them. After conversion, files will only be compatible with FileMaker Pro 12, FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced, and later supported versions. You can only convert files created in FileMaker Pro Advanced or FileMaker Pro version 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, or 11.x to the FileMaker Pro 12 format.

FileMaker Pro Advanced creates a Conversion.log file, so you can view the conversion status and any problems that may have occurred during the conversion process.You can convert a single file or convert multiple files at once. However, you must convert files created in FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced and FileMaker Pro 11 and earlier to the FileMaker Pro 12 format in order to use them with the current FileMaker Pro Advanced version. Files in this format do not need to be converted and will open in the current FileMaker Pro Advanced version. Converting files from FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced and FileMaker Pro 11 and earlierįiles created by the current FileMaker Pro Advanced version, and all versions since FileMaker Pro 12, are in the same file format and have the filename extension.
