No. Just saying that those who have tested it and feel comfortable that
in the testing it does what they want, can. You should have done full
testing first. We don't want to run into "well, I though it would do
this" when you could haven't tested it and found out.

You have a test; test it. CR 6 Pro is the current enginer we ship with.
because of many noted problems is backwards compatability, I DO NOT
recommend using pre 6.0 reports with the 6.0 engine.
> Can I run BOTH (2.5 & 2.2) clients on the same machine against 2 different

Yes. Thats what the ">> Options" button is for. It lets you select the
database ot run against.
> Can I run 2.5 against the 2.5 db or the 2.2.38 client against the 2.5 db?
Yes. However, you must understand that the billing of 2.5 is
dramatically
different that 2.2. If you start using 2.5 for billing then go back to
2.2 for billing, things will NOT be right.

As long as the DB size if sufficiently large enought to hold the data.

Look at the used number in EM. It will tell you the current size
of the DB.
> Is this advised over trying to update the old db?
You definately should do a tranfer as per the beta docs and test it
quite thoroughly before touching a prouction database.

With 256mb of ram, I would give about 144mb of ram to SQL Server and
about 48 megs to TempDB in Ram. That leaves 64mb for everything else.

One include AVS and one doesn't AVS is Adress Verification Services
which include all the numbers of the address. If your clearing
house requires AVS, then choose the AVS output. You usually can
get a better percentage if youprovide AVS.

I don't see a comments field in the batch format?

No, but it will prorate based on the 1st of the month. It will either
to
monthly or anniversary, and will prorate for monthly.1
