Version 2 will not load Version 3 .fcf

I have same problem as 'fransky' in that a file I made and used succesfully on version 2 when loaded to version 3 and then saved will now not work on version 2. This file also fails to compile into 'c' on version 3 but is ok on version 2.

The failure is a missing right paren...
How do I know where to look in 'C' code to find this as the file ( notepad ) has no line numbers

I fortunatley saved the file under a new name so I have access to a good copy for version 2.

I am using the latest version as uploaded from site today @ 11:30 31 dec 2006.

Can anyone help ?

Hi Jerry

This is true FCF files that are opened and saved by version 3 will be uncompatible with version 2. This is due to the new boostc compiler used in V3. Due to this you should always make sure that you backup your V2 FCF files before loading them into V3. This just helps to make sure that your work is still accessable just incase anything goes wrong.

Flowcode will automatically save a backup of your file with a .001 extension, so you should be able to get to your v2 file. But is is always a very good idea to back up your own files just in case something goes wrong.
