Omnis 3+ has the wonderful feature that you have just discovered.
You can use two differnt methods to work around the feature.

1) Boot with the old system when you want to work with old data
bases. Fresh started ones will work with the new system.

2) Convert your old files by exporting them with the Omnis ultility
program under the old system, and then importing them to a new
data base under the new system.
