Forms - project downgrade form 6 to 4.5

[Marcin]

Hi,

We have simple project written in Forms6. We need to present it on Forms4.5,
but it can't opened in forms designer 4.5. Is there any chance to open forms
6 project in forms designer 4.5 ?

regards,
Martin

No. Not backward compatible.
You could try to rework V6 to a text (fmt) file,
and see if that loads in V4.5. Have never done that,
so no guarantees.

It probably won't work, fmt file formats are different between
versions.

This is just the definition of downwards compatibility.
Do you expect lower version software can open higher version
executables?
Do you expect a lower export can open a higher version dump?

Rest assured: they can't.

And both Forms 4.5 and 6.0 have been desupported, so you are on your
own.
Now you are in the EU, it wouldn't be too difficult to get current
software?
