MarYo -> Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/18/2002 14:04:21)
Hi all. I' m the owner and webmaster of www.space-graphics.com I' m currently a FP2000 user that I use without particular problem and suit almost all of my needs. I' m buying now a new pc with windowsXP-pro preinstalled and with a cheap expense, is possible to purchase FP2002. Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 ? The new feature added are useful ? Is the application stable and trouble free ? Your opinions and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated! Thanks and Bye Mario

MarYo, I just bought 2002 and haven' t installed it yet. As I read the manual for installation, it confused me to a point where I didn' t want to stop what I was doing to install it. They mention installing client and host. I' m not sure but installing on my machine is only client??? Something has to go to the server??? I don' t know. But I do know this, 2000 and below were much easier to install. I' m scared that if I install it, it will open a can of worms in my already nicely working system: FP2000, Access2000, PWS. This is a good question though. I will be watching this post carefully to see other posts and to determine if it' s worth installing (risking my working system). LLL

Client and Host ? Mmmm... I' m also confused. It' s better to wait for some suggestion from exprerienced users. Bye Mario

Long Island Lune -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/18/2002 20:40:34)
I agree. Both of us should wait!!! I' m surprised nobody posted yet. [:)]

OK folks, Host is the server, either remote or IIS if using W2k or WXP (or you mentioned PWS) Client is you—the FP developer. To be absolutely safe, install FP 2002 in a different folder for testing. Open your existing sites live (at the host) and Publish with FP 2002 to a folder on your hard drive for use as a client.

MarYo -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/19/2002 16:40:19)
Thanks to Charles for the info about the Client and Host question. My curiosity is if FP2002 is a good purchase for people like me that have FP2000. Bye! Mario

Upgraded to 2002 a couple of days after it was released and have never looked back. I don' t understand the comment about " 2000 and below were much easier to install." - it was a clean, simple upgrade and fixed a few of 2000' s problems and I can' t imagine ever going back.

Charles W Davis -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/19/2002 20:39:01)
Mario, If FP 2002 has function that you need. Go for it!

puiwaihin -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/19/2002 21:08:22)
Unlike Gil, I' ve looked back, but not of my own free will! I had FP98 at home, then got FP2000. The improvement was like night and day. Then we got OfficeXP with FP2002 at work. I really liked all the new features. I switched jobs almost half a year ago and have only been using FP2000 at home. The only thing between me and a copy of FP2002 is a spare $80 (educational pricing). I miss it.

Thanks to all of you for the information. Well, since the upgrade cost is affordable, I will switch to FP2002. FP2000 is great and easy to use, I hope FP2002 will be the same or better. Greetings Mario

Charles W. Davis, Will FP2002 install in Win98???

MarYo -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/20/2002 15:42:51)
The Microsoft Office dedicated web site report that OfficeXP run on Win98 For all the specs, take a look here: http://www.microsoft.com/office/evaluation/sysreqs.asp Bye Mario

Porterhouse -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/20/2002 16:19:08)
I have been running a demo of FP2002 and find lots of problems working between it and Office 2000 that I did not encounter with FP2000. I don' t know if this is due to it being a demo and having bugs or if this is just the way it works?

Mike54 -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/20/2002 16:33:06)
If the (slight) expense isn' t a problem, go for it. I can' t say I' ve had any serious problems with 2002 except for maybe a conflict due to trying to have it and 2000 on the same machine (and that only for J-Bots 2002). Yes. it will run under Win98 - no problem. Runs with Win2K and NT too [;)], haven' t tried with Win95 but I could try that tomorrow just for fun...

Long Island Lune -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/20/2002 20:39:15)
Thanks for the info MarYo, Porterhouse and Mike54. Great news. There' s only one more thing..... PWS. Can I still use PWS in W98 with FP2002??? Thanks for all the info folks. I appreciate it. LLL

hhammash -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/21/2002 13:23:34)
Hi, Yes FP 2002 can run on Win98 I am using FP 2002, it is good, stable and has nice features. I upgraded to FP 2002 with no problem until now. Almost two years now. Regards Hisham

Long Island Lune -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/21/2002 13:54:10)
Hisham, So your saying that PWS will still work in W98 with FP2002??? Thanks, LLL

Long Island Lune -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/21/2002 13:55:20)
Hisham, Check my question (2 questions back) in this post concerning PWS. Thanks, LLL

hhammash -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/21/2002 16:26:11)
Hi LLL, I am using IIS and Iusually work live on the server, I don' t have any idea that you should install something on the server other than the extensions. Regards Hisham

Long Island Lune -> RE: Do you suggest to upgrade to FP2002 (9/21/2002 19:34:13)
Hisham, Your using ISS in W98??? And it works???
