Granted. But some of us are at the mercy of corporate IT and software licensing departments who can take anywhere from a couple of months to more than a year to validate, approve, and license a new version and make the installation available from the IT servers. My recollection is that FM11 was already well into beta test before FM10 became available to users around here. Maybe they'll do better with FM11... But even if I could make a case to my manager for an upgrade, I'd have to be able to save a lot of hours to financially justify a $600 upgrade [from FM9, which is my current version] or even a $400 upgrade [from FM10]. That kind of money can pay for a lot of plug-ins, add-ons, or scripts to make an older version work the way one would like. -FR -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
