Hi Billwh,

As far as I know, you should be able to upgrade from any previous version to
Visio 2007. I found some info about one upgrader's quirks on an Amazon.com
review:

"...I had to go to the microsoft web help site. Fortunately I found why it
would not install and fixed the problem. I tried upgrading from a very old
version of Visio on CD ROM and the software couldnt not find the dll file to
validate. I got an install error message. I went to Microsoft help and
discovered I had to point the validation tool to another directory on the CD
ROM. Not sure why microsoft didnt build it into the installer."

Maybe this will help with any problems.

As for upgrading to 2002 or 2003, I'm not sure what the requirements are for
those versions.
