If a client server app is written with Directx 8 will it be backward compatible with Directx 7? I wouldn''t think so BUT I want to be sure. Thanx, Vgb
How could it be ?????

DirectX is backward compatible, but it doesn''t mean what you seem to think it means. It means that if you have a DirectX 7 app, it''ll run fine with DirectX 8+ installed.
