Hi all from a newbie.
I'm trying to get an earlier ver of Movie Manager as the latest ver7 is far too complex for my poor brain.A year or two ago I had a fully functioning record of my 2000+ movie titles which unfortunately I lost-along with the prog at the time about ver4 or 5 if memory serves and would like to get that earlier one back.Anybody got an old copy they've finished with or know a source where I can purchase?
I've tried the link on the Download page but the link to "Old Releases" doesn't function. Anybody?

| I know the feeling, I as well stayed for a long time at version 6 because I thought that version 7 would be difficult and hard to learn. Then one day I couldn't import a tv-show which wasn't a problem with version 7. So, my suggestion would be to give version 7 a try, it is not so difficult to learn after all, and it has nice features which were not in previous versions. And what is more, I don't think that it is fair to assume that old versions are being supported indefinitely. |

I have already been down the Ver 7 route and I don't like it.Too many "bells and whistles"for me to get my head around.My maxim is ...KEEP IT SIMPLE.Don't get me wrong as I can accept that others may need or want the higher functions but with the earlier versions it really was intuitive and I was able to transfer my spreadsheet list into the earlier ver so easily and SIMPLY.
I don't expect products to be held in stock ad nauseum but I only asked(not demanded) if anybody knew of a source that may hold a copy,and let's face it the prog,in whatever version .is an absolute gem,so is well worth keeping. |

Hello Guys,
The only release available is the 6, you can download it from the website...
I have start to work at release 8, it will be really more simple and "Tablet" oriented... I hope it will be more easy to use for newbie but with the tons of features that everybody likes during these years...

Hi Ale. Can you point me in the right direction to download 6 as it doesn't respond on Downloads/earlier releases?
Thanks |

| I think you won't get lucky with the old version as the new scripts don't work anymore with AND the old scripts don't work on the actual sites... |

| Not quite correct as it is working as much as I want it to(even in Win7) as all I want is basic info and not a complete bibliography.I can fulfill my requirements with a spreadsheet but that wouldn't be so attractive. |

| Ok Ale,you win. Having had a second,third and fourth look @ Ver7 I am now smitten and will continue to use it so many thanks for all the work you've put into each of the previous series and I must admit Ver7 is definitely the best yet.Well done mate. |
