JP- "Expect the Unexpected".... Best regards and thanks for posting your issue on Sage City. Perhaps many others will benefit! Steve and everyone else, thanks too, you guys are great! , These days our company does a lot of installs over the web. It is convenient and less expensive than an on-site because you can open up 15 internet sessions and install simultaneously. However, when you are dealing with 15+ workstations + data conversion, you just come to "expect the unexpected". So I never install the new program over the older one and I always create a new datapath location and copy the original data to the new path plus the forms files. It is a little bit of extra work, but if you have problems with the installation or the data conversion your customer can go back to the prior version just by launching the old ICON and they are back in business which gives me all the time I need to troubleshoot. Plus I don't have to uninstall or reinstall anything on the servers or workstations, once the problems are resolved, I just copy their current data into the new location and convert again.
