Thanks for replying that fast.

I don't yet know what the repository is. How can I know the school version, and how can I match mine against it?

Also, is there a place where Designer 2000 can still be downloaded ? I think that would solve the problem. Or maybe it's within the client (win817clients.zip) that I would get an older repository?

I know I sound like a real neophyte, and that's what I am!

Again, many thanks for any info.
