Hi there,

I am unable to edit styles. I can open an existing style but unable to edit it. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

How can I go back to the old repository?

My old version is Version R2 2.1.2-build 315

I just installed the old version in a seperate directory and copied my (Version R2 2.2b1) repository to it. But it says

```auto
Repository found in database too new for this software version. Repository version: 25, software version: 24. Upgrade Servoy first.

```

Any thoughts?

Servoy gave you this tip:

> NOTE: this is PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE, use with caution and make BACKUPS before you start.

If you don’t have a backup, you might be in trouble. I don’t know if exporting your solution, creating a new repository with Servoy 2.1 and importing yor soultion will work. But I guess you solution is also “version 25” and can not be imported in a repository version 24.
