Hi Tibor,

hmmm..I missed out the "a" in my post :-). I think SP3
needs prior installation of SP2 and so after some time MS
released SP3a which can be directly applied as soon as the
SQL Server 2000 is installed freshly. Thanks for the help
especially on pointing msdb issues and information on
Update Statistics.

Sincerely

Chip

Hence it is a good

from 7.0 to 2000.
