>Hey, that's a good point. Who knows what side effects the quick fixes will cause, considering the haste with which they're being done :)

I've done a couple of conversions in FPW2.6 and as you know it's fairly straightforward, but in so had *un-expected* side effects. In one case everything worked except the despatching label printer. But that was enough to stop despatch for a day from a fairly big company!

The worst about the fixes is that they won't be thoroughly tested (ie in a live environment) until it's too late.
