Problem

We have files that are still being opened in Microstation J when they are opened in V8, then they no longer able to be opened in Microstation J.

What can we do to prevent this from Happening?

Solution

The variable MS_OPENV7 can be set to the following options.

0: Open with alert dialog box
1: upgrade V7 to V8, no alert dialog
2: open V7 as read-only, no alert dialog
3: open V7 for read/write and set workmode to V7, no alert dialog
