Compatibility
FileMaker Server 11 and FileMaker Server 11 Advanced support FileMaker Pro 10/Pro 10 Advanced and FileMaker Pro 9/Pro 9 Advanced databases. While FileMaker Pro 8.x/Pro 8.x Advanced and FileMaker Pro 7/Developer 7 have the same file format as later versions of FileMaker Pro, they are not supported by FileMaker Server 11 and FileMaker Server 11 Advanced due to product obsolescence.
Databases hosted by FileMaker Server 11 will only support the features specific to the client version. For example, FileMaker Pro 10 databases will not support FileMaker Charts, even if hosted by FileMaker Server 11.
