I've always used DC in the context of PDC (I'm old school) and AD as in maybe ADC. Guess I need to get my acronyms straightened out. Thanks a bunch for the heads up on the DC upgrade path. Is there anything that should be done, run or tested after the initial upgrade to 4.8 or can an immediate upgrade to 4.10 be undertaken?
