Can you please clarify what you mean by "earlier versions"?

Does this refer to earlier wrappack levels of Server Express 5.1 or earlier product versions such as 5.0 or OCDS, etc?

Are you using the same compiler directives under the WS8 compile as you were under these previous compiles?

It would probably be best to create a Support Incident with Customer Care for this issue as we will most likely need additional materials from you such as an example which reproduces the problem that you are experiencing along with the compiler directives that you are using...

Thanks.
