Thank you, NJBlackberry and Dubdub. Yes, vs 5.0 downloaded and (mainly) works a treat - and what a different beast it is from the old vs 3.6 that I was using!

I never considered upgrading as I had failed to install vs 4.1, so thought my BB 8700g could only work with olders OSs.

Sync with Outlook 2007 now works fine. The only probem I've since had is in trying to upgrade the BB's s/ware through the Application Loader. It suggested and found vs 4.5 (I think), but crashed at stage 4 of 11 of the upgrade. Thought I'd lost everything, but BB re-booted eventually and luckily it hadn't lost its data. Might not try that again in a hurry - or does that just happen sometimes?

Thanks again.
