Thanks very much for this advise. I will keep this in mind, but it sounds like I should download the newest version, as I mentioned in my earlier reply, and have both versions on my PC in two different folders.
This way I can use the new version of web2py to develop new apps while I can keep my old apps in the old version folder. This way I don't actually have to update the old version. Nothing wrong with having both version on the same computer as long as they are in different folders and I don't mix up the files, right?
