Do you rember a reporting issue in 6.5++ something calculations on break level, I believe absolutely fixed in 7.1 (It might have been tixed in last 6.5++ actually, cant rember the version number thou)   Gunnar Ekblad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 23 november 2004 00:33 To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Upgrade from older DOS   I have a client on 4.5++ (ha!  I was going to say DOS, but I guess that's implied, isn't it?).    He wants to upgrade and he wants to stay in DOS.  He loves designing 4.5++ forms and reports and is proud of it and doesn't want to learn Windows. I will make him buy an upgrade to 7.1, but I'm wondering if I might instead just install 6.5++ DOS.  I haven't seen 7.1 DOS nor heard much about it.  I'm looking for the easiest migration as possible (forms and reports will come over, a minimum of obsolete code, etc.).  Can anyone tell me (off list if you'd like) if a migration to 7.1 DOS is harder than a migration to 6.5++ DOS?   And does the forms and reports designer in 7.1 work just like the "good old" on es?
