ATSW,

Older version Labview does not read any VI created on newer Labview.

In Labview 6, go to the file menu and select "Save with Options". In here is
an option "Save for previous" which allows you to save the VIs out in
Labview5 format. If the VI uses controls or trivial functions that are
present in LV6 but not LV5 they're converted, but more complex functions
aren't. For example, I saved out a VI from 6 today into version 5 format and
it failed to run because I was using some properties in the front panel
object that weren't present in LV5, breaking the property node.
