Thanks, Mike. So from what you are saying, there is some sort of data structures check that would alert me if I am using a version of the program that is incompatible with the data version. Checking my downloads, I find I have the .21 installer which I wouldn't have unless I had installed that version. So Looks like I may be good to take a step back.
Maybe a corollary question then - although backward compatible with a .21 database, does 3.x introduce any new changes to the data structures that would make this a really bad idea?
