"A NEW VERSION of a component is assigned the same component code as another existing component. Modifying a component without changing the component code is only optional in the following cases:
1.The changes to the component been proven by testing to be BACKWARD COMPATIBLE with all previous versions of the component.
Firstly I am shipping the new version of a file, not the new version of a component is that what it means (components have no version number.)
Secondly, why does the file need to be backwardly compatible with the file that its replacing? Surely it doesnt matter if its being replaced.
If I have to change the Component Code, I need to change the Product Code, and if I need to change the ProductCode then it becomes a Major Upgrade.
Help Please,
Dave.
