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

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.

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!

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
