Frankly, I don't know.  That's why I'm asking.  Our JBA is run out of a "home 
office" on the other side of the country that hasn't exactly been forthcoming 
about the infrastructure.  The "home office" attitude seems to be "ask us and 
we'll do it for you" (in about 3-6 weeks), instead of "ask us and we'll tell 
you".  Our project only lasts until the end of the year, so spending 3-6 
weeks for every single thing that we want to do is a bit unreasonable.  All I 
know is that issuing STRM400 only seems to impact V2 applications, even if 
you're in V3.  For example (V2 is all inventory, sales order, warehousing, 
manufacturing applications) STRM400 from a V2 application allows menu 
maintenance of those applications.  The same from a V3 application (GL, AP, 
AR) still does not recognize menus from that application -- as if we were 
still under V2.  We have "bridge" libraries for the files, but appear to have 
no means of maintaining menus and tasks for V3.
