Craig

I am using a number of versions of Paradox (7, 8, 9 & 11) under Windows 7 64 
Professional using Leslie Milburn's BDE installer. (I got the Professional 
version of Windows 7 so that I could install Window XP programs in the 
Virtual PC if I needed to.)

To date the only issues I have had with Windows 7 relate to 64 Bit 
compatibility issues with some other software, not Paradox. For example I 
can't export Access data that I receive to Paradox format as there is no 64 
bit version/support for MDAC and none planned. It looks to me like we can 
get at least one more Windows operating system release support for Paradox. 
So far I haven't had to resort to using XP Virtual PC and it doesn't look 
like I'll have to.

Just my 2 cents.
