Ho, ho, ho ...  !

Always a wise one in the group   :)

just don't try to update and transfer at the same time. Do it as two
separate things, and make a database backup first! or two! preferably to
a CD, and then test it to make sure the backup (and your procedure) is
good (ie, restore to a new, temporary, database from the backup).

Say your prayers, cross your fingers, throw salt over your left
shoulder, and wink at a full moon looking over your right shoulder ...

should go smooth as glass.

PS: Can you just move your old hard drive to the new computer? a New
'puter should have room for more than one hard drive.  Maybe your
electronics dealer could help you with this?

Happy Holidays!
