My experience is that FP2003 work just fine with the FP2000 extensions under Windows XP Pro, IIS
5.1, just limit my ability to use any of the FP2002 features which are unchanged in FP2003.

> Well Thomas, thank you for the reply, but the fix was nothing else other than the installation of
FPSE2002.  When troubleshooting situations like mine - WinXP Pro + IIS + FP2003, to me it's clear
that the question needs to be asked if FPSE2002 is installed.  Based on my war wounds (reference the
post threads), FP2003 is not cleanly backward compatible with previous versions of FPSEs.
