Yosi, I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me. Do I have to get the OEM to create a new asc file using the old version of Concept and then import that using my version of Concept?
I have a zip file from the OEM. It contains a full set of project files including the asc file. I don't know for sure, but I expect the OEM used a version of concept that worked with the prj file (and the rest of the files in the project) to create the asc file.
I have tried several time to import the asc file supplied by the OEM. Each time I do, when I try to open the prj file created by the import procedure, I get the "Object not found in database" message I described earlier.
