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.[1] In late 2019 Claris rebranded Filemaker as Claris Pro, but reversed the decision and still markets the product using the Filemaker name.[2]

- 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.[5]
- FileMaker Pro 2 or FileMaker Pro 1, must be convert to version 6 before they can be converted to 11.[6]
