I created a web page with VSD version 5.7 and rarely update things. Was reluctant to update to previous versions due to reading of problems and really didn't want to take the risk of time need to re-build the site. With the new version, are there still any issues to upgrading to this version or should I leave well enough alone if I don't want to risk any troubles?
thanks

You should have no problems at all. If you are on version 5.7, you are on about a 3 year old version, so I think you will like 6.0 much more.

so, do I uninstall the old verson, re-boot and then install the new. And when I go to open my VSD progam for the site, it should automatically convert over? If troubles occur, can I revert to the old verison if needed?

The first thing you should do when you open the file is re-save it under a different name. Then you'll have the old one for safe keeping.

When you install 6.0 it will automatically remove 5.9.4 I would suggest making a copy of your VSD project and save it in a safe place before you open it in 6.0.
