[Dxbase] XP / VISTA / Windows7 -- Joe's DBChecker program - last thoughts

[n8dc-8 at comcast.net]

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.

ALL: 

Well, after many users of DXbase2007 testing and running (or not running!) my 
Refdata/Logbook Checker exe program -- this appears to be how each O/S 
is being handled: 


Windows XP -- good ol' standby -- NOTHING Special to do!! 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..
