Personal Geodatabase compatibility. RE: [OKGIS]

[Todd Fagin]

That is good news and I stand corrected. I was basing my assumption on
ESRI's own literature which said the 9.2 geodatabase was not backwards
compatible.  Glad to hear that editing it in 9.2 does not automatically
convert it to a 9.2 geodatabase.

Hi guys,

 

Good news.  It's correct that opening a 9.1 MXD in 9.2 and saving it

makes it incompatible with 9.1, and data created with 9.2 is

incompatible with 9.1.  However opening and editing 9.1 data with 9.2

doesn't change the format and it remains compatible with 9.1.  It is a

manual upgrade to move from 9.1 or earlier data to 9.2.

 

See below for details.

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
