Even if the flag was there, don't you suspect when the time came for 7.4 to be released we'd see another volley of emails asking for the exception to stick around for "just one more release"? The bottom line is that at some point your code is going to have to be modified, a transition period really just gives an excuse for procrastination. Bruce has offered a patch against 7.3 for those who cant wait to upgrade; I think that should be a sufficient remedy. Robert Treat
