Yeah the Admin Tool was a disaster if you used it. Strangely it had no problems saving your work, it would just corrupt your definitions half the time.
I was initially cautious too with the Developer Studio and used matching versions, but slowly learned that it is not as lethal as using mismatched version of the Admin tool in the older versions.. In fact never had a problem with it. They have done a good job on maintaining backward compatibility.

Just using a different patch level will not cause any issues. I know I have seen it on the list of people using the v8 Developer Studio against a 7.6 system Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brittain, Mark Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2014 9:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Version compatibilty ** Hi All, This might be a candidate for the RUG dumbest question award but I will ask anyway. Just want to double check the safety of using different SP versions. In our development environment we have upgraded the AR Server and mid-tier from 7.6.04 SP3 to SP5. However it would be a month or so before upgrade production to SP5. I have development work to do and production work to do before the upgrade and only one workstation for use. I have been told it is safe to use the SP5 Developer Studio on the SP3 environment, but want to be sure.
