A thread on this just ran its course on the Adobe FM forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2696392#2696392
So long as you don't mind everyone saving as MIF (and saving as the correct version; there are three now), and don't mind changing Unicode characters back and forth, and the people on 8 and 9 don't use any features that didn't exist in 7, and everyone plays be the rules all the time and doesn't make any mistakes, you should be OK. Seriously, it's probably past time to consider getting everyone on the same platform. Otherwise you're going to be spending a fair amount of time doing mickey-mouse tweaking that you should be able to ignore. But mechanically, it'll work. Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...
