lyx2lyx has support up to the first versions of LyX, so this should not ever happen. If it happens it is a bug and it should be reported.

I'm not sure you understand José means... I thought he meant opening a LyX 1.5 document using LyX 1.4.2.

This has probably already been said in the thread, but just in case.. I did get some weird error message about this recently. Uwe had sent a .lyx-file to the list regarding some vertical spacing issue. Opening that with LyX 1.4.3 results in the following somewhat confusing message:

        .../newfile.lyx is from an earlier version of LyX,
        but the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it.

Btw, it's annoying that I can't do copy'n'paste of the error message :-(

Hmm... maybe we could have an online service on lyx.org for converting more recent .lyx-files to older formats?
