I am sure you will get some responses that answer your questions, but two tips: 1. Read the upgrading sections of the manual -- there are two or three (see Upgrading in the index of the Development manual). 2. Realize that you are upgrading two database levels, so you will probably need to upgrade the database to 1.38.x first (probably manually) then do a 2.0.x upgrade. > > If there's anything I haven't mentioned, that's important to my > successfully performing this upgrade, please tell me, and thank you > all very much, in advance. > -- > -ste > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
