Search Again: Re: Looking For Input... From: Michael J. Colvin Date: Wednesday, October 2, 2002 Time: 3:13:32 pm I know currently there is no "reason" to upgrade, but other than what you've mentioned, what features may be possible with an upgraded version? IE, if we bought 5.5 or 6, would it be JUST for this, or will we likely have to upgrade down the road anyway? I know that we've already come across some field length issues with 5.0 unlimited... What's it cost anyway...$69 or something like that...(I know it's on the site, just didn't want to go looking.)
