I just shared an .sef created in 8.5 with a colleague and he reported that he was unable to import it. He is using 8.0 (5622). Is this correct or might there be an operator error?
I'd do a chat with MC, but it's after hours and I thought the assembled multitude might have a quick answer.
Thanks in advance.
Are 8.5 .sef files backward compatible?

Re: Are 8.5 .sef files backward compatible?
Hello PD Quig,
Backward compatibility is not guaranteed for the sef files exported from a newer version imported into an older version of MultiCharts. Exported from a lower version sef files can be improted into the higher version of MultiCharts. Please also keep in mind that 32bit sef (exported from MC 32 bit) is compatible with 32 bit MC only, 64bit sef is compatible with 64 bit MC only.
