Hello,

At this moment we use Windows 2000 Pro (Version 5.0 Service Pack 4.0) and MS Office 2000.

Our systems will be upgraded to Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 3.0) and MS Office 2003 (Service Pack 3.0).

Questions:

1. do we have to take action so that our existing reports keep working (Windows 2000 > Windows XP) ?
2. some reports are in Excel 2000; which settings do we have to change so that they keep working in Excel 2003?


Tony

I have found that I needed to change nothing at all in my webfocus environment. After all, webfocus is more or less platform independent, so it will work exactly the same on win2k as on winxp.

As for the difference between excel 2000 and 2003, from the webfocus point of view, I believe there is none.

Hope this helps ...

As GamP says from a WebFOCUS server pont of view their should be nothing to bother you.

From an Excel point of view you only get benefits, as certain features for EXL2K format
(templates for example) are only available in Excel 2003 up.
