3.5.2-->4.3 migration

[Robert Nichols]

Ruslan,

One of the first things I have tried to do with 3.5.2 db file is open with VStudio 4.3. It opens and diagnoses as "All Right!" Sounds good.

Taking another step, I did an XML dump, which succeeded, and then tried to load the dump. The load failed, reporting kernel error. After the failed load, the VStudio GUI looked strange: the tables appeared in the correct column, but there was no DB indicated in the DB column. Clicking on the DB column returned all columns to a blank state.

Attempt to execute SQL dump of my file crashed VStudio.

I seem to recall the last time I did a substantial migration, things were initially very unstable because I had been using unwise table and field names that apparently didn't choke the earlier version, but did choke the later version. Are there any new forbidden names or other strings introduced between 3.5.2 and 4.3? Can I send you my file to have a look?

Thanks,

Robert
