Haven't yet installed 7.0 so I don't know if I'll run into the same
problem that you have, but I have recently been in contact with Claris
Tech. Support and I believe that your problem may be the version of
FileMaker Pro that you are using. If you do not have FileMaker Pro 1.0v2
then you should contact Claris, because you are not using the actual 7.0
compatible version of the program.

No, I don't believe this is the case here. I'm pretty sure that if its
a problem with the app, then you probably need v2. Claris has its full line
updated to either 7.0-savvy or at least 7.0-comaptible. I recommend calling
Claris if you can get through to them they are fairly helpful on technical
matters. -I have no connection to Claris other than that of a satisfied
customer- (Can't wait to see Resolve!)
