Sergey,

Thanks for that info. I've read about the developer edition in the past, but had no idea it was that cheap and I've just not given it enough priority, but you can bet I'll be doing it now.

In the meantime, I wanted to make a test run of this update process to decide if I want to even take on this small project. And I am making that decision today.

Thanks.
