Hello,

If you want to convert a vi written in LV 7.0 to a higher version (say 8.5) open the vi written in 7.0 with 8.5 and then save the same. (once you save it to 8.5, you can not open it with 7.0 since 8.5 is higher than 7.0. So male sure to back up your 7.0 version files)

Now to convert a vi from 8.5 to 7.0 (for example) it gets a litle complicated becase you have load the vi in LV8.5 and then select the option File-->Save for Previous version and select the appropriate option (like 8.2, 8.0 or any other that gets populated in the drop down menu).

Now say that you have selected the option 8.0, Again the vi saved in 8.0 and follow the same procedure to save it to 7.0 version of labVIEW.

The reason i said it gets complicated becasue you must have installed all the version of labVIEW  (in the above case its LV 8.0) for a sucessful downgrade.

Hope this helps you out
