I am in class making a program in NetBeans 4 and i saved it to my flash drive, brought it home hoping it would run on my NetBeans version 5.5.1.

But i cannot open it.

Will saved files from older versions of NetBeans work with newer versions?

Please Help!

Thanks.

Does your Netbeans give some reason why it will not open the file, or does it just not work?

Well i have the files for my program on my drive, and when im in Netbeans i hit open program. Then i locate it, open the folder-> src-> and the icons are not the Netbeans format. When i try to open it outside of Netbeans, it asks to "Open With.." and i tryusing netbeans but it wont let me.

There is no Open Program command in NetBeans ohmy.gif
If you meant Open Project (and it doesn't recognize it as a Netbeans project) then try New Project and Project with existing ant file, or if it doesn't work, then Project with existing source files. I think one of these should work.
(maybe there is an even easier way, because when installing NB5.5 it automatically looks for previous NetBeans projects and imports them)
