Mike I'll try this idea tomorrow first thing. I'll also try turning off messages before I save the stack. I just thought of that and I haven't tried it yet. And Jackie, thanks for your suggestion regarding RR support. I'll use that as a last resort. On 1/9/2015 10:56 PM, Mike Bonner wrote:

You might turn off messages before opening the stack to see if it loads. Also, if you're double clicking to open the stack, try using the file menu instead. On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 7:19 AM, Ray wrote: > I'm trying a "Save As" on a stack file last saved in 7.0.1 so I can open > it in 6.5.2, the la
