The tools will work fine against either V6 or V7. Since they were developed primarily for V6 you can not make use of the new V7 features and/or datatypes( I know that's true for SRW 1.1, but I think FORMS 3.0 has some stored procedure support). You'll have to wait for the next generation of tools for full V7 support(SRW 2.0, FORMS 4.0, etc).
