Thinking of upgrading and wondering if files created in DP 5.14 will open easily in DP 7.
Thanks for your help!!

DP5.14 NA, no way, however everyother version of 5 up till 5.13 shouldn't be a problem :wink:

Thanks for your quick reply, Opps what I meant was I am running DP 5.13 on OS 10.4.11. I am thinking of upgrading to Dp7. My only concern is will I be able to simply open all my 5.13 files in dp7. Also, been a while since I have upgraded. Am I in for a wonderful surprise or a painful learning curve. I have been using DP for years (since DP3) and love it and hope the new version retains all I have grown to love about it.

This forum rocks!

No problem. I recently upgraded and I can open my 5.13 projects in 7.

Just make sure to "save as" version 5.13 if you need to open them back up in 5 for whatever reason (like a plug or VI that's incompatible in 7 maybe).
