I only have 7.....I'm not using the upgrade switch, which is designed
specifically for 6.x. I'm just trying to run the 2000 install from the
network (and the cd!!). I have had the option to upgrade on previous 7
databases when doing an upgrade to 2000. I'm stonewalled as to why it's not
letting me now! :(
