If you still have the 7.3 code disks lieing around, I would try logging on the 7.5 database, drop the 7.5 code disks, link and access the 7.3 code disks and then try the restore. It'll fail immediately if it won't work. My guess is it would work though if you have the 7.3 code disks accessed as Q & V

Thanks Ewald Roller
