Re: How to copy or export data from 8.0.5 to 7.3.2 server?

What? You mean everyone isn't still running 7.3.2? LOL We're upgrading customers from old product versions and some are actually still running 7.3.2 and 8.0.5. You'd sell your stocks if I mentioned what large companies are still doing this. Save's a buck you know. LOL Um, OK, so by "connect" you mean ??? Is this documented somewhere?

Thanks,
Mark
