This 16-bit mode is fairly transparent - you will see NTVDM.EXE running in Task Manager and the 16-bit processes underneath it. You just run the app like any other. Similarily, when running 64-bit Windows then your apps *that are executing on the server* will either be 64-bit or 32-bit. 16-bit apps fall off the end and don't run at all. 32-bit apps run in an emulated 32-bit machine along the same lines as above. Having said all that, it's very unlikely that any VFP apps will be executing on the server. The EXE might be there, the data might be there, but if you are sitting running the app from an XP machine or whatever then it's running on the OS of the machine you're on. In those terms, it doesn't matter a damn what the server OS is. It could be Linux with Samba file shares. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/00a401ca097c$73b46f80$5b1d4e...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
