But it means CLARITY and I'll take that any day. I’m not sure I like the approach either, it means a lot of work for me. But it means CLARITY and I’ll take that any day.

But I couldn't more agree with you when you say that it's time to move on.

Indeed it was, except for the usual FS8 things. Thus for a year we had known backward compatibility. Now we are told that the rules have changed and that SP2 may not allow some previously functioning things to work. The topper is an "official" statement that there will be no further fixes. WYSIWYG. Nasty financial decision based upon revenues to-date. I am sure that the Community Talent will come to the rescue if anything crops up.
