We just bought a copy of Filemaker Pro (bundled with MacWrite II and MacDraw) from the local university bookstore. It runs once, creates a "Filemaker temp" folder, then bombs on startup when it runs again. It will run successfully when the temp folder is removed. Claris tech support told us that the version 1.0v2 we have should be 'mostly' compatible with system 7, but were surprisid that we could even buy such an out-of-date copy. They said that academic upgrades are handled by the seller. The people at the bookstore were most unhelpful - saying that they never handle upgrades, but would check on the price. I found this to be quite rude after I had stressed that we bought the software last week and hadn't had it working right yet. So does anyone on the net know exactly which version of Filemaker Pro works with system 7?
