    Yes, but your choice for backwards compatibility is Save As MIF 7; once you open a FM 8 doc, it will be upgraded to FM11 & no longer openable by FM8

    You can always preserve some backwards compatibility by saving as MIF. A

    FM11 MIF should -- note the should -- be able to be opened in earlier

    versions. You lose any "new" features, but the early FM MIF parser should

    just discard "new" information.

    Also, there are export filters, some not implemented, that let you save to

    an earlier version as Jeff noted.
