You had no problems on Windows XP but you did have problems on 7? Is that right? Neil, the SP 11 documentation does not show Windows XP as a cerified version, but shows Vista and 7.

This is a new server and I copied the sysdata folder from the old server (32bit) to the new one. I have Windows 7 and XP clients accessing the sysdata on the new server and the Windows 7 machines are extremely slow when opening FRX. I'm talking like 8-10 minutes to open frx. On the windows XP machines there is no problem. Has anyone else had this experience? I have a new machine with windows 2008 server 64 bit.

Not using AA, luckily! Above it states that a 64-bit version of Windows is not supported for FRx. If you have FRx installed on a GP client that is 32-bit OS, but the SQL server is on a 64-bit OS server, is that supported? Is it the client or the database server that has to be 32-bit OS? We'd like to go 64-bit OS with SQL 2008, if possible. Also ... if you use VMWare, GP is not supported in that virtual environment, last I checked. For some reason AX is, but not GP.

If you’re using Analytical Accounting for GP, you must be on GP10 SP3 or later to use FRx 6.7 SP11. If you’re not using AA, you should be ok as-is.

Since FRx is just connecting to the database server and not actually running on a 64-bit OS, it will work just fine. Yes, SQL Server 2008 64-bit is ok as well.
