Re: older client access and winXP

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

His issue is that V4R4 CAE is not supported on Windows XP, which he needs
to move to.  As I stated, V4R4 crashes regularly on Windows XP and should
not be used.

really are for keeping client-side code current while allowing server-side
to go off support. There are numerous sites that have an older AS/400 that's
back-level while other AS/400s at the same site are current. Should I have
to use an old Client Access version when I connect to that single system?
Obviously, obtaining a legal copy of the client-side in the first place is
the first problem.
