Files with the .XML extension contain text data in the XML language, short for Extensible Markup Language. XML uses markers called tags for defining objects and their attributes. It can be treated as a text-based database.
File Extension | FP5 |
Full Name | FileMaker Pro Database Format |
FP5 is an extension specific to the files used by the database creation software called FileMaker Pro 5. FP5 are files that are used to save the databases created in the program. Their structure is characteristic of this type of file. The basic element of such files are tables with fields with specific data types and rows called database records.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "XML") to another (referred to as "FP5"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, XML file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format XML to format FP5 becomes essential.
So, how can we perform XML to FP5 file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format XML and transforming it into format FP5. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of XML to FP5 converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of XML to FP5. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the XML file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
