Thanks Robert.
This is what I have done in the past, and all went well. Just thought there
might be some progress in Major version to major version upgrades that I
have not read about.
I need to reask this question though:
I have a build of 8.0 ready to deploy. Does anyone know of any big issues
that are addressed in 8.1, making it worth wating for (when its released
that is)?
