Yolanda,

As Arturo says, the versions are currently not the same.  Sometimes 
you are not allowed to open a later version file in an earlier 
version program.  If you run into this problem...this is what I do.  
Create an export file and then open it up in the PAF 4.0 program 
creating a PAF 4.0 file.  I usaually name this new file differently 
and make it read-only so that I only make updates in my original 
file.  I usually run reports for my parents in Spanish.  I think they 
come out nicely.

the 4.0.4 so I am not sure what charting and reporting capabilities 
there are, but I know that there are a few members that use both the 
English and Spanish language version much in the way that you are 
envisioning.
