Peter,
My answer, in part, is that I've rebuilt nearly all my client's
previous version 6 solutions into version 8.5. I don't think, from a
visual point of view they have even noticed the difference apart
from the obvious use of 'tool tips' and other minor user issues. I
don't really understand your comment on keeping the 'old' type of
files separate from a 'use' point of view. It's much more efficient
to have it in a one container case than many on almost all matters,
however, I have found one minor annoying problem with the move to
the one file for all. In that if I wanted to change a 'file' , like
in 6, I could just modify that file in the office then drop it back
into the client's solution when done. Obviously, having to import
any additions in that time. That sort of thing cannot be done now.
In all other respects 8.5 is much better.
Regarding the script matter, I move the scripts up and down the
script file under the associated layout ('file') heading. In that
way you know where to look for particular scripts when referring.
Its a big help as your script file will now be enormous.
Hope this helps. I have had to go back to modify a couple of old
version 5/6 solutions where the client doesn't want to change and
its a complicated shift to put the brain back into gear for those
occasions.
