I use both CorelDraw V10 and Illustrator 9.0. I swap files back and forth between the two with no major issues. I think all that would matter would be font issues (better to create outlines on the fonts) and what version of either software is being used. You could be safe in saving your Illustrator files in version 7 so that they will easily import into CorelDraw.

The first response is good. I echo the ability to swap between Draw 10 and Illustrator 8. However, if they are using Draw9 or below, they may have problems. I have always had problems with Illustrtor files, both exporting and importing in all versions before Draw10. If they don't have 10, you may urge them to upgrade. And, yes, I always save to Illustrator version 7 for Illustrator and Draw users.
