Save for previous does not work

[lysko]

In LabVIEW 7, there is no possibility to save for a previous version. The reference to "Save with options" in file menu, given in Help, leads nowhere. I have also tried to save programmically, using method "Save for previous", but it did nothing (and did not say anything in the Warnings or Error).
What to do?

Can you be more specific? Save with options has six options listed on
the left side. The next to last in LV7 should allow for saving the
LV6.1. Really, you should just have to click that radio button and if
you aren't using any toolkits, you click save and choose a folder for LV
to place the VIs into -- it does this trying to avoid saving over the
originals. If you need the VIs for versions before 6.1, load into 6.1
and go furthe
r back into time. In general, each LV release will save
back to the previous major release.

Where in this sequence do you run into a problem?

Dear Greg,
As you may notice from the picture I have attached to this message, there is NO SUCH OPTION! That's the beginning of the problem. I have also tried to save my VIs programmically but ... the method did not work (see my original e-mail).

On the menu in any LabView window, goto Tools >> Options >> Miscellaneous and make sure Use Abridged Menus is Not checked. Then goto the File menu and you'll see Save with Options...
