Re: need an 8.0.5 client and an 8.1.7 client on same machine

Thanks.. I will try this.. Is there anything else to be concerned about? Paths etc? I think there's a chance that the respective apps will find the correct dll's in the correct bin directory automatically, but I'm not sure. Any problem anticipated with that?

Thanks,
Doug
