Loading DP is fine and performing lookups is fine but vdos is most definitely
slow when running reports. Try it with some reports and compare the speed to
running them in DP natively in a 32-bit OS (even in a virtual PC). There's no
contest.
I'm not putting vdos down. I use it on my 64-bit Win7 machines and am glad to
have it. I'm just reporting what I've experienced.

I don't understand why you say vDos slows down DP, Tim. DP is
greased lightning for me running vDos on Win 7 - 64 bit. I don't
think I've run any really large reports since starting to work DP on
vDos, but it loads virtually instantly - less than a second, and
switches from one to another database even faster, if possible,
opens pages faster than I can time it ...

To run under 64-bit Windows you have to use a DOS emulator like
VDOS. Or you can run a virtual machine (using Virtual PC,
VirtualBox, etc.) with a compatible OS installed and run DP inside
it. VDOS is simplest but does slow DP down a bit.

Dear ALL
There was just a related question. Sorry to ask what has
already been discussed I believe but
1) Can you run Dataperfect under WIN-7 64 bit (it runs under
32 bit of course, I do that)
2) If so, what do you have to do?
Best regards
Jens using Dataperfect since 1989!
