Hi Jeff If the client runs Windows 7 Professional (not the Home versions), you can download for free: Download Windows XP Mode with Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx This will allow you to run any XP-only application. Don't forget enough ram. For this scenario we recommend 4 GB minimum. If they run Windows Home you will need an upgrade. /gustav >>> jeff.developer at gmail.com 17-12-2010 04:14 >>> Has anyone here ever worked with a product called Lytec? I need to pick someone's brain if they have, I am having issues at a newer client's site. Here is a little more information: I am working with an orthopedic physical therapist who is using Lytec 2007 to 'run' his business. This product controls his scheduling, billing, and basically everything. We have talked about writing a custom app for him, but he does not know if he is ready to take that big of a step yet. We just discovered that former IT people have spent WAY too much of his money on unnecessary equipment. We have purchased two new PCs, but his current version of Lytec (Lytec 2007) does not work on anything after Windows XP partly because Windows 7 and SQL 2003 do not talk. The upgrade for Lytec is about $3000, something that needs to be done every year. I have been trying to get Lytec 2007 to work with Windows 7 but to no avail. Any suggestions on a less expensive option for my client would be greatly appreciated. I am open to almost any suggestion at this point.
