Is there an upgrade path from OpenInsight 2.0 to OpenInsight for Workgroups 3.6 ?
We have a couple of customers who need to upgrade.

There is no OpenInsight upgrade path from 2.0 to 3.6 as far as I know. Especially since 2.0 was part of the OI for Lans product line and 3.6 is a part of the OI for Workgroups product line.
Your best bet is to run APPBACKUP to backup the application and then create a new application in OI 3.6. Then use APPBACKUP to restore the work. Caution: the version of APPBACKUP that came with 2.0 will not backup certain components, at least reports that I can recall. So double check your system after you've moved the application before deleting the old one. There was an updated version of APPBACKUP that used to be on CompuServe that would work with 2.0. I don't know if you can take the APPBACKUP from 3.6 and plug it into 2.0 or not.

I'm pretty sure you can check in and out AppBackUp to older versions. We used to recommend it, but I can't remember what the low version was.
