Hi Ray..
           I have  had hardly any problem with upgrades since version 4. 
I don't know if it's the proper approach, but I always do a Norton Ghost 
backup of my C partition, I copy my old LOGic subdirectory to a 
different partition, do a couple of log data backups, and then 
un-install the old version.  I then install the new version, and import 
the log file and any lists that I need from the old version. Maybe I've 
been lucky, but I've not had problems. If I get any funny error 
messages,  a LOGic CLEAN usually solves it. It'd be nice if, as you say, 
we had the capability to automatically migrate our updated fields , 
forms, and lists. Maybe Dennis will get 'round to it ... but I want my 
"Print QSL lable for current QSO" button first.. {:o)
