 I'm a 2005 user ready to reluctantly upgrade to 2008. I'll have the CD.
Any suggestions or advice?

BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP, and when you think you are safe, BACKUP again!

1) Backup the accounts
2) Copy the database
3) Run several reports to establish a baseline of the data
4) Validate the accounts.
5) Fix any problems
6) Re-run reports (if fixes were required).
7) Back up database again (to a different place).
8) Run upgrade
9) Run reports again and compare to verify data not changed.

Good luck. Chances are extremely good that you will have no problems....
