According to the FAQ, I can link a lib built with CVF5 when compiling with CVF6, but can I link a lib built with CVF6, when compiling with CVF5? Our development group needs to upgrade to CVF6, but some of our field engineers may not, so we will have a mixed environement.

No - downwards compatibility of objects is not supported - there may be new run-time library entry points used by the newer code. If you supply your CVF6 code as a DLL, though, it can be used by CVF5 as long as 1) Visual Studio 97 SP3 is installed (see the CVF FAQ) and 2) the CVF5 system has the newer DLL redistributables package installed.
