<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>That's useful, thanks. We're all a bit tied up for the next week or so, so bear with us. We already know we need to make the upgrade easier to perform, but it is quite tricky to move some new features into an existing install automtically - I suspect we can provide some sort of SQL to make the database changes that are required - Pat? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would imagine a useful upgrade might come maybe three or four times a year, so this needs to be easier. </FONT></DIV>
