Thanks for the good info on problems with 6. We are working on
upgrading. As for your 2nd issue, are you sure those old Sales
Orders and Invoices are closed? I tried duplicating you issue and
while it does pause for a short while 15-30 seconds on average, it
does not process really old Order #'s or Invoice #'s. It only
processes those that are open.
