Filemaker Pro Advanced 17.0.2 still only mentions macOS 10.13. There is no mention of this version supported on Mojave. The Filemaker Pro/Advanced 14.0 product specifications only show support through OS X 10.11, and Filemaker Pro Advanced 17 dropped support for El Capitan. The FMP 14 product is at least five years behind the Filemaker product curve.
Due to the significant changes to macOS since El Capitan, I would be surprised if FMP 14 ran well, or at all on Mojave. I would recommend contacting Filemaker directly, or ask this question in their support community.

Yet again, apple software designers screw their customers. No, Mojave does NOT work with filemaker 14. Talk about ******* people off. Again.
If Filemaker is owned by Apply, how can they keep doing this to their client base?
boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and run First Aid on your boot drive. Reboot normally.
If that fails, the go back to the Recovery volume and reinstall the system.
You haven't run any "cleaning", "optimizing" or "speedup" apps have you? Or installed any anti-virus software?
FileMaker Pro 15 user here. If you go to the support boards at FileMaker Community, they are afire with complaints and condemnations about this very thing. The latest (de facto) word from FileMaker is to not upgrade to Mojave. I'm reading an update for FileMaker Pro 17 is expected "sometime in 2019".
The most common issue people are encountering (with FileMaker 17, the latest release) is that imports from spreadsheets (Excel) are causing the software to hang, and that user-created buttons are either not working or not configuring properly.
My wife uses an app (Studio Organizer) for her karate school; it is a FileMaker-based solution. The author of that app sent out a terse email last month warning users about an inability to run the program if they upgrade to Mojave, the brick wall he's basically encountered in trying to solve the issue with Apple & FileMaker, and suggested that users strongly consider switching to a Windows-based computer if they want to continue to use the software.
What always strikes me -- infuriates me, really -- in these situations is how a one-man shop can use the betas and make sure his independent/shareware software app works with a new OS from day one of official release, and a huge software company (and one with direct ties to the OS mothership itself) -- with money & staff, one would think -- drags its feet and leaves users in the lurch.
This is especially infuriating in that there is no real alternative to FileMaker (database software) in the macOS world.
I've been using FileMaker since my first Mac -- a PowerBook 160 (running System 7.1). It was the first software package I purchased as a business. In many ways, the application is the same one I used back then (lots of things/set-ups are still the same as they were, and that's not necessarily a good thing; e.g., doesn't use the system's spelling dictionary). I wish they had some competition on the macOS, because it might keep them on their toes a bit more.
Log into another user account and see if Filemaker will launch successfully there.
If not, boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there. Any improvement?
If Filemaker are unable to help other than suggesting a very expensive upgrade, does anyone know of alternative software which can read Filemaker files
Sadly, it does not BUT where can I find a download for Filemaker 11
You can't. The only version offered now is now Filemaker 17.
What happens when you try to launch Filemaker 14?
Filemaker opens, but any attempt to open a data file results in problem report "FileMaker Pro quit unexpectedly"
I do not believe it!
After an hour my imac will not start in safe mode!!!
