I've been perfectly happy with Access97 and WindowsXP.

But my laptop's circuitboards have deteriorated, and I need a new computer. I'm wondering what the real-world has to say about using Access 97 with Windows Vista. Does it run seemlessly? Please say yes.

I have an application which I've been improving since 1998. I tried a demo of Access 2007, and did not like the way my app interfaced with it, and I don't relish a whole lot of reworking. But I don't want to buy a laptop with an obsolete operating system.

Tell me you've used it and it's wonderful.

Best to you all.

The answers are always in Google, many times without digging.

Thanks, Moniker, I appreciate the help.

Yes, Google often has some answer, but I usually find the source of the help to be as important as the answers given. This forum has always been excellent, and I put more trust here than elsewhere.
