Question Can I open my Web Publisher 4.0 files in askSam 5.x?
OR
I have opened/modified my Web Publisher 4.0 files in askSam 5. Now when I go to access them on the Web I get an error which reads: "The file requires a newer version of the askSam engine".
Answer Once your Web Publisher 4.0 files are opened/modified in askSam version 5, they will no longer be usable in Web Pub because it runs with the askSam 4 engine.
However, when you open a version 4 file in askSam 5 and it converts the file to version 5 format, it also creates a backup of the file in the same directory retaining the version 4 format. For example, if you had a Web Publisher file named "articles.ask" and opened that file in askSam version 5, it would convert your "articles.ask" file to version 5 format, and it would also create a backup of the file named "articles.AS4" in version 4 format. Simply rename the the file extension from *.AS4 back to *.ASK and you will be able to open this file using Web Publisher again.
Resolution Basically the only way you can use askSam 5 with Web Publisher is when we release Web Publisher 5.0 which is based on the askSam 5 engine. I would expect this product to be out within the next few weeks.
