SW09 Materials DB into SW08?

SW09 Materials DB into SW08?

(OP)
Hello all,
Is a custom materials database from SW09 compatible with SW08?  I tried to add it and when I go to select the new db file it says "access is denied"???  Suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
BB

Update - The file was "read only".  After I unchecked that, it now says that it is not compatible because of being a newer version.  Anyway to make it compatible aside from buying 09?

It should work. It may be that you are using Photoworks appearances from 2009 that don't exist/work in 2008.

BodyBagger,

Do you have any materials that are not in my database that you can share? I would like to update mine for all.
