opening a labview 8.5 file with labview 8.21

Hello,
I was working on a project at home with labview 8.21, I nearly finished this project but I addes some stuff at school where they have labview 8.5.
Today I wanted to open the labview file on my computer, but It gave an error:
labview load error 9: Vi version 8.5 is newer then labVIEW version 8.2.1.
Is there any way I can open the file on my computer?
Or can I save the file at school als a 8.2.1 file?
thnx in advance,
Seppe

Hi Seppe,

just save it in school using "Save to previous" from the file menu...
Best regards,

You'll have to reopen the file on a computer with LV 8.5.  From there you can do a Save as Previous Version to save back to LV 8.2.1

Hi Seppe,
if you have LabView 8.5 you can save your vi for previous verions (8.2.1 and 8.0)
