    Help finding old versions of MS

    Anonymous:

    As you know I do some development work, but I have run into a snag (many times, but now I thought I'd do something about it)

    I used to have MS6.52, MS7.x, MS8.x, MS9.0, MS9.1 and MS9.2. I still have my versions MS6.52, MS9.0, MS9.1 and MS9.2 but no longer can find my copies of MS7.x and MS8.x As you know, exporting functions using the FormOrg.exe is not backwardly compatible, and giving people the source code of indicators and explorations and getting them to create the relevant objects in their version of MS causes more problems than it fixes.

    So, what I am looking for are legitimate copies of MS7.x and MS8.x for doing this development work. Of course, I always tell the client they should upgrade to the latest version (which makes my life easier)! This way I can completely develop the code in the same version of MS as the person who needs the help, and they don't have to bother me with more questions like, "I got your code, now what do I do with it?"

    [Can someone point me in the right direction or tell me who at Equis I might be able to talk to about this need?]

    Thanks!

    I think thats a question for Ebay. That the only place I've seen legal full copy of MS with very old release versions.

    Sorry G,
    I checked all my versions and the ones I have are more recent copies and upgrades.

    Thanks for the responses. I'm not the one looking for the older versions, but I figured if anyone would know it'd be you guys...
