Jeff: You wrote <We tested NT with service pack 4 in the year 2000 and had no problems>. I believe and respect this statement. The fact that Service Pack 4 is not Y2K compliant is not something that is obvious in every single instance. But I will confidently predict that Microsoft is going to tell people that they will have to move to Service Pack 5 before the end of the year. And you know what a pain those upgrades can be. One of the many nastinesses of this darn Y2K problem is that very intelligent people can do testing that seems to indicate that a program works. Thorough testing is an enormous amount of effort and most of us just load up the application (or operating system), put our applications on it, play around and note any obvious problems. I'd leave time in the schedule to install Service Pack 5. And cross your fingers that they get the darn thing right in time.
