Original DB users (ones promised all future updates) can download the DBPro upgrade free? I was under the impression that DBPro was considered a seperate program altogether, and it was at least the charge of the upgrade... Have I been waiting for nothing?

No prob I was just confused a bit...

DBPro is a different program, but it seems worth the cash. Not sure if there are any updates to the original DB, because it has been so long since I messed with it, but there most likely are... Should be on the site 8)

I have the "original" CD too (the one with the Wigan Council CD sleeve) - it's where I started like you atx840. But now I work for DBS I can tell you (and have done so in my email to you last night) that the original promise was that patches for DB were free - and they have been, consistently.

DBPro is a new product and there is a discounted upgrade price (although you've missed the special offer discount by 3 months) but there is NO free upgrade from DB to DBPro no matter which version of DB you have. Sorry! (Just needed to make this clear to everyone else).

Cheers,

Rich
