Hit them as I ran into them. There are lists of changes posted in the
download area. Well over 90% of RB issue was related to qty fields being
changed to "Our" vs. the new "Selling" quantities. I got really fast
clicking in front of field names and Ctrl-V to paste "Our" in front of it.
Since I had to go thru every report anyway it seemed faster to just take
them as the came up. I also used this opportunity to split all my reports
into more rational PRL libraries and change the report names in the page
headings to indicate the new library location. Optimized a filter here and
there and updated date filters to 2002 so users would not have to change
that part (for next 3 months anyway). The RB work took about 2 weeks. One
big task, post-upgrade (but before Monday), will be to point the Custom
Reports at the new PRLs.

Thanks, Todd...I have no problem responding on the list if it is of
interest to everyone. I'm curious if you have a list of new field
names or is this just something you learned while going through your
test? Further, feel free to share with me direct or with the group
if you prefer, regarding your experience. Thanks for responding.
Sincerely,
