Hi,
Basically what I do during my upgrades is that I convert all the views
and set them up for the new D6 environment. Then once I am happy with
them I turn them into default views, and this will mean that when the
site is converted the views will be there ready to go.
Default views are quite easy to create as you can just use views
export to create all the code.
Gordon.
