>Looking for some input. My company has decided to upgrade from v6 to v7. I found a few nice things in v8 that would come in very handy like the auto increment data type and the improved grid control, etc... I am researching whether or not it would be a good idea to go straight from v6 to v8 and skip 7 altogether. Aside from the time it would take to convert every app we have from 6 to 7 then to 8, I am looking for some pros to the new version - or do you think it's better to wait...

My humble opinion is that you should make the jump to 8.0. Why should you deny yourself, and your users, the improved functionality as well as the new stuff for you? There will be a certain amount of rewrite in the change from 6 to 7, so save yourself the grief of a 7.0 to 8.0 conversion. Also, it will make the conversion to 9.0 that much easier.
Remember an opinion is worth what you pay for it....
