Thanks ALL you GOOD people
I see the options. I asked because I have both 32bit and 64bit Win7 running.
I may try VDos as my database may be large but reports normally run very
quickly as they are simple searches without much intricate calculation or other
such matters.
Thanks again and let us be happy we can still use DP. For me there is
really no other alternative. I could not see myself missing "field look up"
with assignable Index and the split table/record view by which DP Excells.
Sincerely
Jens

Dan - all that is true. However, in my experience there are other functions
that are terribly slow, so slow in fact that I keep other older machines around
to run those routines. Of course, I'm talking about larger databases. Imports
and the running of reports come to mind. I once measured the same report
running under VDos and straight from DOS (mounted on a Vista machine) - my DOS
report ran in about 20 minutes, under VDos it took almost two hours. I gave up
trying to import large datasets under VDos for the same reason.
Otherwise, I really enjoy having VDos available to me and use it for functions
that don't require speed - report writing, building panels, inquiries of a
lookup nature and the like. It is solid as a rock as far as I can tell. Then
again, I lead a relatively uncomplicated data life and never print from DP.

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 ...

DP (and any other 16-bit DOS app) will not run natively under Win-7 64-bit. The
32-bit OS can run 16-bit apps.
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!
