While we recommend using the EDITOR and VIEWER programs that are consistent with the database version in use, an Enviro Data 8 database can be used with the Enviro Data 2012B programs. However, there will be errors when creating a new database or subset, and/or preparing lab reference files with the older version. If you need to do these tasks, and do not have a Version 8 program available, contact Geotech Support for assistance.
