<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 3203770, member: 89393&quot;]I ran into the same situation several times over the computer decades. I started with Microsoft Flat File Databases, but when the company ended support for the program and it would not open on newer operating systems, I switched to Filemaker — about 1986. The company has &quot;upgraded&quot; this product continuously, far surpassing my needs for a database manager, so I hold on to older versions for years. I waited too long this time, as there are no conversion tools available to bring my datafiles to compatibility with the latest version of the software, so I am orphaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>To make it short, I was able to install my old software and data files to an older computer with a version of the OS that has not been supported for more than 10 years. I can connect it to my router via ethernet and print to my current HP Laserjet with a generic driver although there can be no interaction between newer and older computers on this network.</p><p><br /></p><p>I consider myself a collector, BTW, because I never learned how to spell numismatic. I also had to tell my mom I was a stamp collector and not a philatelist because she would have thought I was swearing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
