This is one example of how confusing things have now become. There are now TWO versions of Release 5.0. One writes Version 5 files ONLY and the other writes Version 6 files ONLY. I have often wondered about Legacy's inability to write out files in earlier versions' formats. Even FTM does that!
This is a limitation of the Access database. Access does not have the ability to store data in previous version formats, it can load older versions but only be converting them to the format of the version doing the loading. If you want to complain address your concerns to Microsoft not Millennial.
The latest release is not the only time that the format has been updated as new features have been included in Version 5 updates.
At least Millennia does not charge us for every minor revision to Legacy like FTM does. Have you ever had a free update of FTM? I used it for several years and never saw a free update for bug fixes but I was offered the opportunity, at least once a year, to buy a "New" version.
