On RDworks, when I save the file and open later, it always says incorrect version. Don't make sense because that is the version which it was saved. Any idea? I am running version 1.38.

This is the second post I have seen about this issue. When installing .38, did you do a full delete of the previous version of RDWorks, then reboot, then run a cleaner like CCleaner that cleans out the leftover registry junk, then reboot, then install .38? Sometimes junk gets left behind that creates conflicts. Just a thought.

Are you saving as a *.rld and trying to re-open

Or saving as a *.rd and trying to reopen

If *.rd - that is expected - -if other there is a problem
