<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>The only time I have experienced problems opening someone elses MXD is when it has an imbedded image file that I do not have such as a logo. Other wise It will always open. Of course it normally shows red ! in the TOC but that is expected. It might also be caused by the use of an extension such as Maplex you may not have. </FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hello Fellow GISers,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have never been able to open any colleague’s mxd. I had accepted this as the status quo until Janis Paulsen sent out a solution to her problem with an attached mxd. I was curious why she sent an mxd instead of a pdf or jpg. When I tried to open her mxd, I got the message saying “The map document was saved using a newer version of ArcGIS”. Ok, that’s simple enough – different versions equals a compatibility issue. However, she was able to open the mxd I sent her. Assumption: Lower versions can be opened with higher versions… maybe. Hmmm, whenever I try to open a colleague’s mxd, I get the message: “Could not open the specified document”. Why? Janis thought that this may be a question for SHRUG-L and I thought, why not. Let’s see what the collaborative powers of the great minds of SHRUG GISers can come up with.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks to all,</P>
