Should I branch?

I have an application in Vault and we have been building the application using MSNET 2003. We need to move to MSNET 2005.
I really need simple instructions on what to do. Is this a branch?
MSNET will change the solution file and so on, so I must make sure this works first time.
I do not want to destroy the MSNET 2003 build, just stop working on it and move to MSNET 2005

regards, Mark

Under normal circumstances I would probably give it a decent label before the change and not branch. If at sometime you need to work on the 2003 code (eg for a bugfix) then you can still branch the 2003 code from this label.

If however you got a complicated structure that needs to change a lot then I would do the branch. For example you got a lot of 2003 imports libraries that now need to be changed to 2005....
