Seems I remember something about having to change the extension if you are trying to open it in a later version of Quark. Try changing it to .qxd

It should be Option(mac) or Alt(win).

What's the error when you try to open ?

Poor, Beer. It's only Quack. If you have "downtime", just rebuild it in Indy. :wink:

I don't suppose it's Passport, different error.

beermonster · January 13, 2009, 10:33:06 AM
