Ahh. good point. We have a few PCs that have printers hooked up to them and print off the AS/400 through a host-based printer on the PC. Fortunately, those are mostly Win9x or Windows XP and are not up for replacement any time soon. That did make me wonder about our printers that are run off our Win 2003 R2 server, whether the shared printers will work w/o special drivers on the client PC or the server when we upgrade to 64-bit Windows.

For example, I have a customer that has a LOB app that reads a SQL database from their order-entry system and prints pick-tickets for their warehouse. The order-entry system is fine in 64-bit. But the pick-ticket application doesn't work. Regards, Michael B.

I know our AS/400 has a 64-bit client. Not sure what else we use that would have a problem. J John-AldrichTile-Tools From: Michael B.

Some LOB applications are known to have issues, especially if they have services and/or drivers. You should check-out your LOB apps. Regards, Michael B.

I've not messed with 64-bit except under linux and I'm a bit concerned about getting a 64-bit version of Windows on our next machines if we still have the 32-bit Office, etc. John-AldrichTile-Tools ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
