SP4 for SQL has been out for quite a while...and I don't think you'll have any issues...remember that it will also need to update MSDE instannces

 Thanks...

 Actually at this point, we are not really using SQL Server on our SBS box
 very much at all. I am using it as a test environment for our .NET apps that
 use SQL Server (we have a separate "live" Windows 2000 SQL server box but I
 do not want Shavliks patch DB on that machine) and it is also being used for
 our Blackberry Enterprise Server db and that is it. So I should be good to
 go really. However, I will pose the question to blackberry to make sure that
 their stuff will still run on SP4.

 Thanks for the help.
