>>Hi all,
>>What is the status of VFP 7.0 using Netware as a file server?
>>
>>Novell Netware used to be a fine File Server and print spooler for as long as I worked with it. It was fast, stable and solid as Windows still isn't. It just worked.
>>But my experience ended at version 3.12 and they are in version 6 now.
>>
>>We have some customers that are Netware based and Microsoft sees just Windows in their horizon: http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/productinfo/sysreqs.asp
>>
>>Is it still safe to use Netware with VFP?
>
>My experience with Netware after version 3.0 (IOW, 4.0 and greater) has been decidedly negative. In particular Client32 is simply too agresive for my taste when used with login scripts. There's nothing, outside of problems with the domain, beyond that. Fortunately, we're switching to Win2K server.

>As for your question, I'd say yes, but with reservations.

Thanks a lot, George.

...Y soy feliz, bien feliz, asi lo grito;
Mira, que el mundo sepa, que se sepa:
Soy feliz....                       

...And I'm happy, quite happy, so do I yell it;
Look, so the world knows it, so be known:
I'm happy...
