I go through this often with code written for Tango 3/2000/5. As long as you change Terascripts default scope to user it should all work fine. But I prefer to have request as my default scope and specify scopes specifically in my code. This means a lot of work, but also a chance to review the code I am upgrading. Some of it was written over a decade ago.
