My Fireworks 4 can't open a Corel 9 file. I says it can't read it. It can open my old Corel 7 files, but not ones saved in 7 format in Corel 9.... It says it cannot open a compressed file. Are the files being saved in Corel 9 under an earlier format compressed??? How can I lite this firecracker up. I wanna party. Bronzeo

A lot of programs are unable to open Corel 9 CDR files. Gerber Omega and Adobe Illustrator are two such programs. Try saving your Corel file down to a version 8 or 7 format and see what happens.

Glen, I did, but then fireworks said that it couldn't open a compressed file. I didn't know that they were compressed when saved in another format. Maybe Macromedia has a new fix for this problem, after a few such related probs. Thanx, Jack

I don't know if this will work...but you can try "exporting" your file as an Adobe Illustrator file and import it in Fireworks.

When I get home tonight, I'll try it out and see what I get. Meanwhile, if you'd like, e-mail your CDR file to me a walldog@nc.rr.com and I'll see if I can make it go.

Jack...CorelDraw uses compression no matter what version you save as. when you go to save, click on the "advanced" button. A new window will open and you will see a place to uncheck either or both Bitmap compression or vector compression. Hope this works for you.

Thanks Guys, I will try the advanced box. Thanks Dave. Glen, I really don't have a particular file as none of the Corel 9's would go. If Daves idea doesn't get it, I will e-mail you a file if you don't already have 9 or 10. Jack
