Upgrading FM from 7.1 to 9

[Lynn Durell]

Thanks everyone for your advice on this.

I think we might actually be moving to TCS2, so I'm keeping my fingers 
crossed!

Regards,
Lynn

Re: Upgrading FM from 7.1 to 9






There are much bigger differences than that. Mif2Go is more more techy, 
much harder to set up, but requires much less (if not zero) cleanup 
after the conversion.

If you go with Mif2Go, I recommend hiring someone to help you set if up 
and train you to make minor modifications.

Just my 2 micrograms of silver.
