>From what I understand, the answer is flatly no!  ESRI has developed yet
another backwards incompatible geodatabase version. Here is what ESRI
<http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?id=193&pid=181&topicnam
e=Saving_to_previous_versions_of_ArcGIS>  says about this:

 

"If your organization uses different versions of ArcGIS, you need to confirm
the ArcGIS release version with which your geodatabase is associated, as it
can have an impact on whether or not ArcGIS will be able to access the data
referenced in the map. Newer versions of ArcGIS can read older geodatabases,
but older versions of ArcGIS cannot read newer geodatabases, except in the
case of 9.0 and 9.1 since they're directly compatible. 

For example, if your map contains data from an ArcGIS 9.2 file, personal, or
ArcSDE geodatabase, you can save the .mxd so it can be opened in ArcGIS 9.0,
9.1, or 8.3, but those versions won't be able to display the 9.2 data.
Similarly, data in any 9.0, 9.1, or 9.2 geodatabase cannot be read in ArcGIS
8.3. Shapefiles, coverages, and file-based rasters don't present a problem
in this regard."

 

"If you already have a newer geodatabase that you want to work with in an
older version of ArcGIS, you can create a geodatabase in the older version,
then copy and paste the data into it using the current ArcGIS release.
However, some items in newer geodatabases, including terrains, topology, and
annotation feature classes, can't be copied into an older geodatabase."

To all,

     I am hoping someone can help me with this.  Does anyone know if you

open a 9.1 geodatabase using 9.2.....make edits, save...and still have it

able to be opened in 9.1?

 

      Thanks,

       John Savicky
