Actually, I am now using Vista Business w/SP1, on both my laptop and my desktop. Access 97 installed on both without a glitch. (One's a 64 bit OS and the other is 32 bit.)

This seems to work fine. We installed as administrator and marked the app to "run in XP". /gustav >>> Gustav at cactus.dk 21-04-2008 23:40 >>> Hi Drew et al Here is one source with a good explanation: http://allenbrowne.com/bug-17.html But don't give up! Alex Dybenko comes to rescue (again): http://accessblog.net/2007/06/access-97-on-vista.html Seems to be a font issue (again, remember the hatten.ttf trouble?). /gustav >>> DWUTKA at marlow.com 21-04-2008 17:30 >>> My new laptop came with Vista. Looked nice. Ran fine. Tried to install Office 97 (I currently run 97 and 2003 on all of my development systems). Wouldn't install. Yes, I could use VPC to run 97 when I need it, but I prefer my OS to be able to run the software I CURRENTLY use natively. So after that error installing Office 97 (and a quick google search verifying that Office 97 wouldn't install on Vista) and my laptop had XP on it faster then you could say 'Microsoft screwed the pooch with Vista'. ;) Drew -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2008 9:50 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Moving to Access 2007 - Here we go... (Resending...) William, I have to say I used to agree with you. I finally broke down and installed it on my DELL M90 and I am starting to like it. Of course I did break down and go back to the classic style menus, but the performance is actually very good, and I love the full disk encryption. I certainly wouldn't go with any of the entry level Vista packages though. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com The information contained in this transmission is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain II-VI Proprietary and/or II-VI Business Sensitive material.
