Filemaker is a relational database software application originally developed for Macintosh but later released for Windows in 1992. Owned and developed by Claris, an Apple Computer subsidiary.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileMaker</ref>

==File Information==
Early versions of the file format did not have an extension, as most Macintosh Classic files do not. Early Filemaker files have a string at offset 525 which can help in identification. 
* All files since FileMaker Pro 12 have extension .fmp12.<ref>https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/help/16/fmp/en/index.html#page/FMP_Help%2Fconverting-files.html%23wwconnect_header</ref>
* FileMaker Pro 11, 10, 9, 8 and 7 can be opened directly in current software.
* FileMaker Pro 6, 5, 4, or 3 files will need to be converted to FileMaker Pro 11 before they can be converted to the .fmp12 file format.<ref>https://support.claris.com/s/article/Attempting-to-open-a-fp5-file-in-FileMaker-Pro-via-File-Open-menu-results-in-misleading-error-message-1503693006618?language=en_US</ref>
* FileMaker Pro 2 or FileMaker Pro 1, must be convert to version 6 before they can be converted to 11.<ref>https://support.claris.com/s/answerview?anum=10571&language=en_US</ref>
