The FP5 ( FP5) file extension is associated with FileMaker Pro 5, a cross-platform relational database system developed by FileMaker, Inc. This version of FileMaker was released in 1998 and was the fifth major version of the company's flagship product. FileMaker Pro 5 offered a variety of improvements over previous versions, including the ability to use multiple windows, import settings from older versions, and enhanced support for Unicode characters.
An FP5 file represents a single database created using FileMaker Pro 5, and may include various objects, such as tables, layouts, reports, scripts, and value lists. To access an FP5 file, you must use FileMaker Pro 5. Related file extensions used by this program include .FP3, .FP4, .FMP12, and FMP12ENV, each associated with a different version of FileMaker Pro.
Data Structure & Design Features
FileMaker Pro 5 is a desktop relational database software application primarily intended for amateur and semi-professional developers who want to create custom databases for personal or small business information management needs. It uses a graphical user interface to design and modify data structures in the form of tables, as well as forms and reports that visualize and extract information from the data stored in them. Database security features allow users to restrict access to certain sections or records within the an FP5 file.
File Storage & Cross-Platform Compatibility
FileMaker Pro 5 stores data in the proprietary FileMaker Pro Advanced XML (.fmxml) format - an archive format containing several files that describe internal components of a .fp5 file such as Layouts, Statements, Stylesheets, Stylesheets Referenced Blocks, Relationships Scripts and Portals. The program also offers support for Windows users to save their databases in ODBC-compliant formats such as xFp (Extensible Markup Language). All versions of FileMaker Pro can read any of the supported formats from other platforms except FMGo, which can only read .fmp12 files.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FP5) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FP5 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FP5 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FP5 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FP5 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FP5 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FP5 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FP5 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FP5 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FP5 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
