IMHO
I would resolve that problem before upgrading
- you may have some corrupt meta data which can cause problems
First of all have your host check your site FP SE and permissions
Post the specific error number you are getting when trying to open the site
Then try the usual repairs in the sequence below:
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
Usually in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and
C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Local Settings\Temp
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
Usually in C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
3) Run a Repair on IE
(see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=318378 )
4) Install all Service Packs for your OS, IE, MS Office and your Video card
(Windows Update and Office Update sites, plus your video card supplier site)
5) Open FP and Disable or Uninstall any FP Addins,
6) Open your FP Online Web/Site and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks
(also try opening if from IE using File Edit w/ FP

| Everything else works perfectly. I can create, update,
