File generated with too old version of Qt Designer

Hi everyone,

I apologize if this has been asked/answered before, but I searched and couldn't find any obvious information on it.

I am working on updating a project that was created/last updated in 2004 in C++ that used version 3.3 of QT for its UI. I have installed the 2010.02.1 version of QT as part of the updating process, but when I compile the project (in VS2005) I get the following errors:

I assume this has something to do with the fact that the UI files were created using the old version of QT, but I tried opening/converting them with the new version of QT only to have the same problem crop up. Is there a way to properly convert old UI files for use with newer versions of QT?

Thank you very much,
Colin

Never done a Qt3 to Qt4 migration but I find this interesting article :

Hope it helps.
