And to make it easier, omsys.com's eval version of MIF2GO includes a MIFWash utility to s8 ave files (like in a book) to MIF. And a sample ExtendScript that's supposed to ship with 10 is supposed to do the same thing.
So you save to MIF 10, and when it's opened in 8, 8 ignores whatever it doesn't understand. If you expect it to be reopened and used in 10 again, you should test to see what a save in 8 does to the 10 data. If could either preserve it or delete it because it doesn't recognize it... so 10 features may be wiped. Art Campbell [email protected] "...
