Jim, That's exactly what it meant, what I said below. An upgrade is an upgrade, and an update is an update. Yes but thoughs terms need to be clearly defined. As I have done below Thanks, A upgraid in software terms is when the version number it self before the point changes so a upgrade is 6 to 7. A update on a program is anything that causes the version number after the point to change so a update is 6.0 6.1 and so on Hth -----Original Message----- Two, maybe some people don't know the difference between the terms "update" and "upgrade." They are not synonyms. They don't mean the same thing. An update is a free modification to the current version of the program. No it is not. The version number does not stay the same and there for it is not just a modification of the currant version. It is a all new version and can include features bugs fixes and new documentation. An upgrade is a new version or new release, whichever term you prefer. All releces are new versions. The term is defined correctly above.
