Apply FileMaker Pro 4.0v3 Updater

Databases developed by Ag IT Computer Unit (ex: YDEP, Show Programs, etc.) will be maintained in FileMaker Pro 4 for the forseeable future. If you purchase new copies of FileMaker for your office, buy FileMaker Pro v9 because it is the current version. You can then install FMP 4 on these computers and apply both the 4.0v2 and 4.0v3 updaters.

 

The FileMaker Pro v4.03 Updater is a FREE maintenance release for FileMaker Pro v4.0.

 

NOTE: FileMaker Pro 4.0v3 includes various Year 2000 bug fixes that can cause records to be entered as 1900 instead of 2000.
