Hello

Up until recently I had been using Lotus Approach 9.5 (?) on a WinXP 32 bit
computer.
I have recently changed to a computer with Win7 64bit.

From what I can find out, the version of Approach that I had been using is
not support (according to Lotus/IBM) for a 64bit system.
And I'm not at all sure about backward compatibility.

So what to do??

Is there a program out there that I can use on my new system.

This is a screen shot of the information that I had setup:-

It is just a "flat" DbaseIV .dbf file - Approach allowed drag & drop of the
fields to display the info in the way that you see - plus field labels etc
as well as a crosstab report.

Would really welcome some direction.

Thank you

I had the same problem.

Several programs I use frequently would not work under 64-bit Windows 7.

Fortunately the new computer I bought also had disks for a 32-bit version of
Windows 7. I installed them, and that solved most of the problems.

Same here, Steve.
I really miss not having Approach on my computer.
