I’ve been impressed with how well FileMaker Pro 16 can heal the wounds of older FileMaker files that have suffered many power outages and crashes. FileMaker Pro 16 converts older versions FileMaker databases built before FileMaker 12. We don’t 100% recommend Filemaker Pro 15 as it isn’t quite as tolerant of old versions of Studio Manager as 16 is. If you have one or more Macs running Yosemite (10.10) that you need for FileMaker/Studio Manager, when you buy FileMaker Pro 16, you can get 15 on request in addition to 16. FileMaker Pro 16 has better security, ease of use and performance and can work on Macs running El Capitan (10.11), Sierra (10.12) and High Sierra (10.13). Upgrading Shop to FileMaker Pro 15/16 Might Work.

One option if you aren’t in the mood to upgrade your shop’s installs of FileMaker to FileMaker 15 or higher (which is recommended), is to use a second Mac that can run FileMaker Pro 11 for access to Studio Manager. If you Can’t Upgrade to FileMaker 15 or 16. Not a good person to be locked out of your Studio Manager database. But FileMaker 12 or higher is incompatible with a FileMaker network running FileMaker Pro 11. Needless to say, the current version of FileMaker Pro 16 runs fine on High Sierra. This is most likely a brand new Mac which will come with and require High Sierra.įileMaker Pro 16 won’t mix and match with FileMaker Pro 11.
#CHEAPEST FILEMAKER PRO 16 FOR OSX INSTALL#
If you are still running the excellent, FileMaker Pro 11, you aren’t going to be able to install it on a High Sierra Mac. I just haven't had the patience or need.Īll in all, this combination of MySQL, Workbench, and BIRT is the closest thing I've come to that makes me feel like I have a good native database on the Mac.We’ve been running into problems lately with some of our Studio Manager users who have not recently upgraded their FileMaker (or Studio Manager) but may have bought a new Mac that requires High Sierra.įileMaker Pro 11 and new Macs. I'm not very fluent with the Java web platform. If you desire to use a BIRT defined report in a web application, good luck. There's lots of tutorials for BIRT on the Eclipse page above. The thing blows my mind all the time because it is so mature of a product. PLEASE NOTE: BIRT requires a pretty significant learning curve but you will not regret it. It's every bit as good as the report builder in MS Access.

Check into it here: īIRT can connect to a variety of data sources and is intended as a Java application reporting tool, but it will also render/export reports in a lot of formats including PDF and DOC.

I opted for the development kit version - an enormous 220 meg download, but worth it. īuilding reports as good as FileMaker's or MS Access was a difficult find for a long time until I ran across the free Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) built into versions of Eclipse.

To design new MySQL databases like a pro, download and install the free MySQL Workbench. Alternatively, you can use a separate computer or virtual machine (on your local network) with MySQL installed.

Installation is beyond the scope here but there's tons of help via Google search. On the Mac, you can install and run MySQL.

There are some decent online services like Zoho Creator (free) and TrackVia (not free) but if you MUST have something very close to Access or FileMaker installed on your Mac natively, I can offer the following suggestion. I've not found a single app equivalent to MS Access for the Mac.
