Gerard, Geert & Tim: Really nice to get continued support for our DP dinosaur from the gang. I've considered switching to Access or other databases but I still believe simple is better, especially with complex data sets that I deal with in a medical practice. Full screen really only a concern for the portable netbooks I have to carry around at work, I realize that's not too much of an issue on the big screen. >From what I've seen so far, someone (excuse me for forgetting who it was) said win7/32 pro allowed XP emulation with full screen so it looks like that's the easiest way to go for me. As for win7/64, (which unfortunatley I have on one of my laptops), it looks like best solution is creating a virtual PC using VMware and then WinXP -- lots of work there. Jon

I use DP Win7 / 32 Home. The window is not bigger than the dosbox in XP. I find it quite comfortable to work with. With these big screens nowadays I haven't actually tried fullscreen. Geert probably knows more. Gerard 2013/2/14 Jong <[email protected]> Geert & everyone: Thanks for the latest info on Dp in Win7/32, just a few clarifiers: 1. Do you have pro or home version Win7/32? 2. Does DP run in full screen mode? 3. How do you print up your HTML output from DP? 4. Is there a print spooler we can use similar to DP Spool to make printing seamless?

NB: I don't even use Tame ! All my reports are saved into html-files, which solves all possible printing problems... Regards, Geert.
