I don't know, but I haven't noticed any.  One of the experts would have to answer for sure.  Mike

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?

    It is my understanding that 2.6.21 is the only 2.6.x that is
    compatible with the 3.2 data structure.  I have used 2.6.21
    successfully with 3.2 data, but older 2.6.x report that they are
    not compatible.  I believe that is true of xml and sql databases.

    On a Windows computer, I upgraded to 3.2 from 2.6.20 I think it
    was back when I first noticed version 3 had been released. Took
    me till 3.2 to notice, but I think it was within a few days of
    the 3.2 release Having now used 3.2 for a short while, I'm
    wondering if there's any issue with going back to 2.6.x? In other
    words, are there any underlying data structure changes, or other
    file changes, that would make this a huge mistake? I am using the
    MySQL database backend. I just feel at this point that, if I
    can't further edit anything after pasting something in from the
    clipboard, that it may be a better idea to go back so I can go
    forward. _______________________________________________
