I think I will try that. I have a secondary server on ready and will use 
that as my primary then upgrade the real one to 12 and see what needs to be 
changed. This is the first time I upgraded anything. I used to work with 
fc3...I still have the bible for it...lol

I did a complete install of 9 when it came out and have been using that 
since. Like I said, I think I changed every file in the machine to my 
liking.

I will do this and see what happens.

Thanks,
Kevin
