Compatability between 2007beta files and 2007 final version files Lee N 14.07.2006 04:38:14 Hi, I am considering trying out the ON 2007 beta. I realize that once I convert my 2003 files to the new format, they are no longer compatible with ON 2003. Does Microsoft gaurantee that data files used in 2007 beta will be fully compatible with the final version of ON 2007 when it comes out -- or is there some chance that 2007 beta features could be removed from the final version, rending the 2007beta files incompatbile? Thanks, Lee

You probably will be required to install all betas between now and release though. So the next beta (scheduled for the end of the summer) will need to upgrade the files to its format and the release version will only be able to upgrade those. As long as you upgrade to the release from the latest beta, you should be fine.
