RE: Upgrade from V4R1 to V4R5 - Has anyone done this?

Chuck. I haven't found any particular problems that would prevent an easy
upgrade.   Check out the following:

1) Go to this link:
http://www.as400.ibm.com/tstudio/tech_ref/rrmap/files/rrmapmig.htm
2) If you back up on your browser to the previous screen
http://www.as400service.ibm.com and select Technical Publications,
   Library, Online Library (Books & Manuals), GO, Select V4R5, Select Search
all V4R5 books in English, and go to
   AS/400 Software Installation V4R5.

Between these two resources I think they have enough information for doing
the upgrade. 

If there is anyone out there who can provide extra input, please do. I'd be
interested as well.

Thanks.
