Hi Mario,
>Will my VFP 9 SP2 app continue to work? (I think they already have 2003 64 bits and they're installing SP1).
yes, VFP 9 runs on a 64 bit system. There are a few things you need to be aware of, though:
- The ODBC driver cannot access a local MS SQL server using the memory provider. You need to select the TCP/IP provider if server and app run on the same system.
- The 32 bit versions of all tools are in C:\Windows\SysWoW64 whereas the 64 bit versions are in C:\Windows\System32. Don't know who came up with these absurd names. When you launch tools such as REGEDIT, the ODBC Panel, etc. from Explorer, you always end up with the 64 bit version. Same happens when you double click a REG file, for instance. For 32 bit applications you have to run the EXE right from the SysWoW64 directory. That's more of a support issue, though.
