Import CVI7 files in CVI6

[lavenj]

Hello, I am using CVI7, but need compatability with CVI6. Is there a utility or general process I can follow in order to get CVI7 files (particularly UIR files) into CVI6? Sometimes they open up OK, but sometimes they just crash CVI6 when I try to load them.

Thanks.

CVI 7.0 UIR files are not backwards compatible. You cannot open them up with an older version of CVI. Your CVI 7.0 panel might contain new controls that were previously not available in CVI 6.0. Are you trying to develop an application using both versions of CVI or are you just concerned about the backwards compatibility of the CVI Run-time? Because the CVI run-time is fully backwards compatibile. A CVI 6 app will execute correctly using the 7.0 run-time.

Hope this helps
