Upgrading from older version

You're going a long way. Your recordsets would have to be remade which
doesn't take long due to the 8.2 rewrite for protection from SQL injection
attacks. You didn't specify the server model .. if it's Cold Fusion, there
is a lot in DW to keep up with newer Cold Fusion. If ASP, not that much is
different. You can now develop with PHP/MySql that you couldn't in UD4.

Another big bonus for you would be all the CSS improvements .. 3 rewrites
since UD4 .. you would be amazed at the difference in actual design of the
site.
