What is an FMP12 file?

FMP12 files mostly belong to FileMaker Pro by Claris. An FMP12 file is a database created with the Pro or Advanced edition of FileMaker application development environment. This file contains one or more database tables, views, indexes, forms, and reports. An FMP12 database serves an on-disk storage for information such as contacts saved by a business application created with FileMaker. This format was introduced in FileMaker version 12 to replace FP7 format which was used in versions 7 to 11.

You need a suitable software like FileMaker Pro from Claris to open an FMP12 file.

FMP12 file format details:

To find out what program is needed to open FMP12 files, you need to determine the file format. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the FMP12 files looks like this:

FMP12 is not a common file extension and mainly uses a special format.

100% of all FMP12 files are FileMaker Pro database files. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are often between 270 KB and 15 MB in size. The file type was developed only in the last few years. The keywords HBAM7 are typical for these files. Files like these have the following tags: demo and clone.
