I have also been using vDOS with DP. I don't have need for cut and paste operations or, for that matter, print from DP operations. vDOS makes DP very workable with the exception of slowing down some functions vital to me. Remember, my databases are fairly large so when I do a voter file report looking for specific parameters DP is sorting through tens of thousands of records. Imports, exports and reports are stable with vDOS, just much slower than running directly through a DOS prompt. I have one Vista machine on my network that I use for those purposes.
