Re: Priority ID and OS V5R4 upgrade

Speaking of V5R4, does anyone know whether Infor has addressed some of
the MUI issues (F1/F4 not working, etc) occurring with this upgrade?  We
are planning to upgrade over the Thanksgiving holiday.

"It's probably more likely we go to SAP than any higher MAPICS."

I've heard that (or Oracle, or JDE, or whatever) WAAAY too often!  And
it makes absolutely no financial sense to me.  It's gotta cost a TON
more to change than to upgrade (unless you are tier-based).  I've been
stalled at
R6 for a way too long to suit me, and initially it was because we might
have to go to JDE/Peoplesoft/Oracle/whatever-they-are-this-week.   At
least
that's over now - we have been declared "out of scope"  to their
conversion.   We're on MAPICS/Infor for the foreseeable future.  I'm
going
to upgrade to V5R4 first, then a new i5 box, THEN to R7.  I'm hoping we
will be further down our "reimplementation" of ERPII by then so I can
put more time into it.  (We go through a reimplementation every several
years as people "forget" how things are supposed to work.)
