I use Office 97, mostly Excel, programming Visual Basic for Applications. I've never updated the suite with the patches available. Was wondering what the success rate for that would be approximately, how many horror stories there are, or if it is as easy and simple as updating IE's browser. I am nervous that the suite won't work the same after I update it, and that I'll be worse off than before. Currently everything works about all the time. Just recently had an oleaut32.dll error that I was able to research and solve with a workaround. Need feedback. Thanks for any. Kaulana (aka New Daddy Bob)

I am in the same position. Used 97 at home and work with no problems - so I don't see any point in taking the risk. We've all seen the horror stories.
