Sometimes it is necessary to back to PB5 from PB6. To do this requires some simple modifications as indicated below:

For DataWindows:

Generally, you can take any DataWindow from 6.0 back to 5.0 with the following steps

- export the original 6.0 DataWindow to an srd file.

- Line 2 of the .srd file. Change the "release 6" to "release 5"

- Line 2: of the .srd file. Delete "print.buttons=no, print.preview.buttons=no" (no buttons in 5.0)

- Last line of .srd - Delete the HTMLTable property. (the entire last line)

Save the results - you can now import the object back into a PB5 pbl.

For windows, menus and most nvos

These should export/import fine with no modification. In most cases, the PB6 objects can be directly opened in PB5 without the need of an export/import. There will be cases where certain objects can not be used in PB5.

If they can not be directly read in PB5 it may be necessary to export from PB6 and import into a PB5 pbl.
