David:
You always want to use the older export utility when exporting from an older DB version, and use the new import untility to import into the newer database.
To export from an 8.1.7 database, use the export utility from the version 7 database and export using a link to the new database (exp sys/pwd@linkname)
I've done this from an 8.1.7 database into a 7.3.4 database. Don't know that it will work with 7.1.4, but you can try.
Good luck!

Hi all
Can I export from a Release 8.1.7.0.0 oracle db to a Release 7.1.4.1.1?
Is there a setting in the export utility to be backward compatible with V7?
Thanks
David
