'''NOTE BEFORE UPDATING'''
 
Because of the extensive changes and database modifications in v0.6b, 
certain data will be replaced.  This should not affect your client,
product, or invoice records, but may affect saved searches and sorts,
displayable columns and report definitions.  If you wish to save these
records, you may need to integrate the updates by hand. The 
updatexml.php files give a general walkthrough on what changes are 
needed
