Thanks Dave.

I don't have a specific problem. I had a conversation with my network team (they always dislike any buggy new stuff ;-) ) and these are some of the things they said that I found hard to believe.

I try to keep abreast of this stuff so I won't program something which will give problems in the future. I will re-write my FPW stuff eventually, but I wanted to make sure there was no pressure to do so from the OS.

>>1. FPW2.6 apps will run "normally" under Win2000 if it's a virgin install.

>>2. Word 2000 is an SDI like WordPad. (Does this sound like a step backwards to anyone else? Why did they do it this way?)
>>
>>3. Word 2000 does not have a "save as" for older formats like the Word95 format.
>>
>>4. A 16-bit sound card will not work under Win2000.
