Miscellaneous

Whenever I attempt to read a data file saved in an earlier version, the software reports the message
Different program version - Check data. Have I lost my data?

This message is advisory only. Selecting Edit data will show that the data file has been read. Since the design codes are constantly changing and we are always enhancing the software, it is often the case that additional checks are added to the software and it may be that additional input is required (for example yield strength). Hence the message is to advise the user to check the data for new input requirements.
