From: Russ (SBITS.Biz) [SBS-MVP] on 25 Jun 2010 18:34 I hope not, That's what I'm using on one of my laptops Yup it works. The only thing I recommend is still using the 32Bit version of Office because of Older Plugins (Like your PayPal Plugin) :) Russ -- Russell Grover - SBITS.Biz [SBS-MVP] MCP, MCPS, MCNPS, SBSC Remote Small Business Server/Computer Support - www.SBITS.Biz BPOS - Microsoft Online Services - www.BPOSMadeEasy.com Easy Redirect to Microsoft's New SBS Public Forum - www.SBSRepair.com "John" <info(a)nospam.infovis.co.uk> wrote in message news:u6wij7HFLHA.1868(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hi > > Is it possible to connect a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit client pc with sbs > 2003 standard (not R2)?

From: Bill Sanderson on 25 Jun 2010 21:33 I agree on the Office recommendation, which is only relevant to 2010, right? I've heard this emphasized at length a number of times. When I move to 2010, I'll be tempted to try the 64 bit version of Excel, but unless I can install both versions on the same box, I'm not sure I'll be able to test that out--and for 90% of what I do, the 32-bit version will do fine.

You can't have both on the same box, from what I understand. So far, I've stuck with the 32-bit versions, but I plan on setting up a VM with the 64-bit version and spending some time with it. To see what doesn't work. ;) -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Bill Sanderson" <bill_sanderson(a)msn.com.plugh.org> wrote in message news:uyxyf$MFLHA.5224(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I agree on the Office recommendation, which is only relevant to 2010, >right?
