Mike and Vinny, Sometimes you can get lucky though and change the workspace version number at the top of the file to 6 instead of 6.5. It depends on how many 6.5 tools you used in the workspace when it was updated, but I've tricked a few into thinking workspaces were in 5.5 instead of 6.0. I would think it should work to go from 6 to 6.5.
To do this, go into the workspace file through a text editor. The version of the MI Pro it was created in will be in the second line of the file. Change this to 600 instead of 650. This line should read: !Version 600 If it doesn't work, you can always go back and change it back to 650. As for the original question on the opening of tables from 6 in 6.5, I've not had a problem yet. Like Mike points out, they seem happily forward compatible. Good luck!

However, many of my colleagues did not make this conversion at the same time. When opening workspaces that were created using v6.0 the v6.5 version updated some of the basic code. These updated workspaces could not be opened re-opened in v6.0. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that MapInfo have not made it so the workspaces would be backwards compatible - a neat trick - however frustrating. Just remember to update everyone or workspaces opened in v6.5 will not re-open in v6.0 Sincerely Mike Stein -----Original Message----- From: Vinesh Govind [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14 January 2002 13:43 To: MapInfo Lists (E-mail) Subject: MI-L MapInfo Upgrade This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. Dear Users I am using MapInfo version 6.0 on my pc. I am about to upgrade to version 6.5. Will MapInfo version 6.5 be able to open my workspaces and tables created in version 6.0. I am unsure about this and would greatly appreciate some clarity on this topic. Regards.
