In version <=4 you could pass as many arguments as you wanted, and it would let you, regardless of how many the other program expected. In version >= 5 you MUST pass in the correct number, or you will get a runtime error. The bad thing is that there are no compile-time errors, you must work thru the code in order to find any of these problems. Going from 4 to 5 is pretty easy, going on to 6 or 7 takes a good deal more work. You may want to take the class on ODS upgrades (it was pretty good.)
