Which ODB version for Windows 7?

[Jim Creak]

Oh … I’m in Classic and I can get a list of available datafiles from an ODB server by doing:

	Prompt for data file (Do not close other data) {odb://[IP]:[Port]} 

That might be handy for you as a means to check the ODB is sharing correctly.

Thanks
Jim

When I tried to install the latest version of the ODB, it tells me that it won’t install because I’m using a 32-bit OS.  OK, so looking at the Read Me it seems that ODB went to 64 bit with version 1.69 and I need something a little older.
