LabVIEW
saving 2010 to 8.6
If you open the down-converted version in 10.0 again, what does it say for "source version" in the VI properties?
What error do you get if you try to open it in 8.6?
OK, I also resaved it under 8.6. See if you can open this one.

OK, that is very different than your original description of "After resaving inb 8.6 the vi will still only open in 2010.". Obviously it will open, but with errors. 😄 Follow Dennis's advice!

If you right clicked on the file name and checked properties, it was still shown as a LV2010 file.
On another computer it does try and open it in 8.6, but doesn't load/open the DAQ functions.
If you click on a VI in explorer and you have multiple versions of LabVIEW installed, it will open in whatever version you used last (it is actually slightly more complicated). If you want to open in a specific version, you need to open that version first and then open the file.
The "properties" dialog in windows explorer will not show the source version, it will just show what program is currently assigned by default to open it. That's not the same.
To check the source version, you need to open the file first, then go to VI properties.
