Joe I see no difference here in running as an administrator or regular mode in Win7 .. It works as it should either way. All the versions you have put out worked in win7 for me . I do have a dual boot system with vista on another drive but ill bet I haven't used it in over a year ! My laptop is running xp and i haven't fired it up to do any updates in a while ? I should do that \ 73 keep up the good work. Dave N8DC

Runs like a charm! Windows VISTA and Windows 7 (user has DXbase2007 in " it 's " OWN directory right off of C:\ drive's root directory -- vice the DEFAULT install) -- (a) User should run the chkmdbs.exe program "as Administrator" .. (b) The program runs all ok if the above (a) is done. Windows VISTA and Windows 7 (user installed DXbase2007 in the " DEFAULT " directory) -- (a) User should NOT run the chkmdbs.exe "as Administrator" !! ... (b) The program OUTPUT is GOOD " if " above step (a) is adhered-to. (c) If you accidentally RUN "as Administrator" (in this case) - the OUTPUT will not be correct!! It appears NOW -- that YES!! All O/S platforms will run my program all ok ... just a few sticky-point to remember for the VISTA / Windows 7 users. Just FYI for now.. 73 Joe wa6axe ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
