Interesting ... I read in some MS Marketing blurb that you should create a restore point, just in case. I think I'll wait a couple of weeks and let you pioneers get shot by the MS tribe.

Try it. It pays! I have updates from Microsoft set to auto so the SP2 download/install came at the usual time of day scheduled in the udate setup file. Took about 25 minutes to download and install. I could have refused it. But beware! I thought that if there was a problem then I could always use "Restore Point" in XP to revert to the previous installation. Not so! (of course). SP2 installation deletes all restore points prior to the install including the one for that day so I'm stuck with it. No other problems since with DXBase but a few surprises elsewhere.
