Ah thanks for the tip Brad. So yeah, I guess not having forward
compatability kind of stinks...but as Robert pointed out....I guess that
really isn't possible if progression is to occur in the software. Isn't it
possible to open up files from Photoshop CS in PS7 if the maximize
compatability option is toggled on when saving out a file though? I'm sure
there are certain things that wouldn't translate back and forth due to
advancements in the software...but it does open up doesn't it? I don't have
an older version of Photoshop to test with otherwise I would. What I mean to
say is that if there hasn't been anything "touched" by the new version you
"should" be able to open it back up in xsi 5.0 ya? If I just open the scene
in 5.1, do nothing, save it, then try and open in 5.0 it doesn't work. Seems
like quite a few kittens to toss at this one though so forget I even
replied! Carry on. :-)

I think the terminology you mean to express is that XSI 5.1 is not "forward
compatible" with 5.01. Sorry to have to be pedantic, but "backward
compatible" means the data created in older versions can be read by newer
versions. This is common in the world of computer software, and XSI has been
very good about backward compatibility from the beginning. ;-)
