Conventional wisdom is that upgrading over major versions is an interesting academic exercise and an a great display of the power and flexibility of the platform, but that if you're just trying to get a working system then a clean install is the preferred method. With good separation of system, application and data, it shouldn't be difficult. -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
