An FP3 database may need to become ODT when its records must be shared as an editable document or placed in a document archive. ODT is a text-document format, so the result is a representation of database content, not a working database.
What the FP3 format is
FP3 is a database file format used by FileMaker Pro 3, an earlier version of FileMaker Pro. You may encounter it when opening archived FileMaker databases or receiving a legacy database from another organization. It can contain records, fields, layouts, and database-specific behavior.
What the ODT format is
ODT is the OpenDocument Text format used by word processors such as LibreOffice Writer. It is suited to editable reports, lists, and archived documents, and is supported by multiple office applications. Unlike a database file, an ODT document does not provide searchable database records, relationships, or data-entry forms.
How to convert FP3 to ODT
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the FP3 file to the converter on this page.
- Choose ODT as the output format and start the conversion.
- Download the converted document when processing finishes. Multiple files can be converted in one batch; the per-file size limit is shown on the page.
Offline with desktop software
For a local conversion, use a FileMaker Pro version that can open the FP3 file, then LibreOffice, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. FileMaker does not export directly to ODT, so first export the records:
- In FileMaker Pro, open the database and choose File → Export Records. Select a tab-delimited format and save the export.
- Open the exported file in LibreOffice Calc, checking the delimiter and character encoding in the import dialog. Select and copy the cells you need.
- Paste the records into LibreOffice Writer, adjust the table or text layout, and choose File → Save As. Select ODF Text Document (.odt).
Quality and compatibility
The export-and-document workflow transfers record values, not FileMaker layouts, scripts, relationships, validation rules, or other database behavior. Review dates, special characters, and column alignment after import; data that depends on FileMaker calculations may need checking in the exported document. If no installed FileMaker Pro version can open the FP3 file, use a compatible legacy version to export its records before creating the ODT.
