    I’ve been running O2K Prof for about 2 years (maybe a bit less) and I have no problems with it. Is there any good reason to bother with the Service Release packs (I have none at the moment).

      Thanx for that piece of confirmation. I had an idea that it wasn’t worth the bother and you’ve reassured me.

        That depends very much on the applications and features you’re using in Office 2k. If you use Access, then you absolutely SHOULD apply SR1a because it fixes several very annoying problems with Access 2000. I have had no problems whatsoever with SR1a, although I have avoided SR2 on Woody’s recommandation.

          Charlotte, I do have an Access db with lots of macros and some code. It works well so what are the annoyances you mention?

            I seem to recall one of the issues was that you couldnt use Access files in offline folders

              That’s one I never tested. The big problem as far as I was concerned was with Autonumber fields. If you appended records to a table with an autonumber field, including values appended into the autonumber field itself, the next autonumber will probably try to start at 1 or at least at the next highest number before you appended the records. I use autonumbers extensively, and that was a problem I was delighted to see cured in SR1a.

              Is SR-1a still the recommended version of Office 2000? I just want to make sure I don’t upgrade to far…

              it depends if you use outlook or not. if you don’t sp2 is fine.

              sp2 adds the security features often referred to as “Outlook Hell” that many people like to avoid. In all honesty, i’ve been working for a few weeks with outlook 2002 without using exchange server admin for or the com addin and it really is not as annoying as i expected.
