Sorry to hear that. Would be interested to know if the problem is related to an unpassed message handled in a frontScript.

In rare and obscure (hard to reproduce) ways, it's possible. I may have seen it once or twice over the years, perhaps most recently (a couple years ago) with some field contents.

Moving one file format change to the next I've never seen an issue. But the couple times I might have seem something related to format conversion differences ("might" because unconfirmed) it was when moving something into a new format from three or four format changes earlier.
