If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .FP5 files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The use of the FP5 file extension is to name the database files created using the FileMaker Pro version 5 and version 6 applications. The FileMaker application is a well-known cross-platform relational database program created by FileMaker, Inc., a subsidiary of Apple, Inc. The most significant characteristic of FileMaker Pro applications is the inclusion of a database engine with a GUI-based interface. This allows the user to change a database file easily by dragging new components or elements into the forms, screens, or layouts. Due to this ability, the application can create a quasi-object development environment. This very unique feature sets the FileMaker Pro application apart from other competing software applications.
