Hi Jim, all I assume AOO is not going to change the profile folder name from 4 to 5? (LO didn't) If it is then some migration code is possibly needed. I would say that it is easier just to abandon branch 42X and start a new 50X from trunk... Apart from that, I believe all expressed opinions were in favor of moving to 50X All the best, Pedro
