Timely. I've just downloaded 8.5 and was just about to run the install. I might stick with my 8.0.3 for now.

Based on the running list of what appear to be features that work at
8.0.3 that have troubles or disappear in later versions should I be
recommending my customers upgrade? My tendency is to hold off at this
point because many of them are relatively new to the product and I don't
want to cause harm that could alter their currently positive view.

I don't personally push RDP to a point where it breaks so I don't think
any of these issues would matter to me much, but my customers would push
it quite a bit harder.

Based on my experience Jim there is nothing in 8.5 (magic Outline view included) that makes up for the grief I have suffered as a result of the upgrade. In the future I intend to be much more cautious in moving to a new version - this one has cost me days and days of wasted time. Most of it when I most needed it - but nothing new there of course.

If I had the chance to do it over - I wouldn't <grin>
