I am working on a project and I am needing to open a bunch of Sibelius first files. I have Sibelius 6.2 and it is not wanting to open them. Is there a way to make this happen?

Thanks folks!

You can't - if the files were saved in a later version Sibelius than you have, which seems likely. If you know the file's owner you could asked them to re-export it in Sibelius 6, or ask someone on the 'official' Sibelius forum at http://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpcen ... ?groupid=3 which is less restrictive on attachments than this forum.
