I have a client with SP3....

I have an engineering client in China who is having
a problem since installing SP3. I have not been looking
for it, because the last time I was in this group,
about a month ago, I read that SP3 would be released later
this year some time.

I'd like to solve his problem, but first I have to get on
the same level with him. So, please.......

Has SP3 been released?
If so, do I just go to the website and download it?
Or if not, what's the forecast?

You'll find SP3 downloads

You should create a new thread describing your problem rather than hijacking
someone else's thread.
