Steve Would be better if you could say what features you like in AD that would make your life easier and then asked if the worked or any caveats for using them. Don't expect the UI to be as intuative as 99SE, a lot of things have been changed, I used to think it was because AD was hard to drive, its not so, its because 99SE is so much easier to drive ;-) I have found more issues with getting 99SE designs to behave correctly under AD than with anything else, but the translator is better, except, for me the use of query language for globals, it still stumps me on a daily basis, but its here to stay so I think it's a like it or lump it option. If you need to send out 99SE files then you will need to watch out what features are used in AD, as they are not all backwards compatable to 99SE. In this case you won't be able to use some new features, so some limitations. Should really grab a demo and have a go. But if 99SE meets all your requirements (no need of the new features or functionality) then really there is no need to change.
