    Default Known issues with upgrading from FileMaker 5.5 to FileMaker 6?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to upgrade an existing solution from version 5.5 to 6.0v4
    and I've run into a couple of strange behaviors:

    1) It appears that some of my relationships are not working.
    2) Some date fields now show question marks.

    Do these sound like known issues with upgrading a solution to 6.0v4?
    What is the best way to fix/troubleshoot these issues? I can open the
    exact same solution in 5.5 and it works perfectly then open it in 6
    and the above problems appear. Thanks so much for your help.

    -Dave

    I am not aware of any known issues upgrading 5.x to 6.0.

    They are basically the same file format, with 6 having a few more
    function available.
