Susan, We are using the 7.5 Patch 004 desktop client on Windows 7 64 bit OS and Windows XP against our 7.1 server. Since we have helpdesks around the world we are accessing the same server using 6 different regional instances of 7.5 Patch 004 MidTier.
I haven't heard of any ODBC issues. We have very minimal use of Crystal Reports and likely will be decommissioned in the near future.

We are also upgrading our ARS to v7.5 including the user tool. The second phase of this upgrade will be to install mid-tier and replace the user tool. Keeping in mind we'd like to use Windows 7 64bit, is anyone successfully using v7.5 user tool AND v7.5 mid-tier (what should we call it) client? In that scenario any issues running Crystal Reports XI in either the user tool or mid-tier client? ODBC issues? I've read through the posts and there seems to be a variety of combinations being used and it was confusing to arrive at a definitive answer. The compatibility doc is not as clear as I'd like. Thanks for providing your experiences!

This can cause some stability issues. What Jeff is describing is called Compatibility Mode and works for most applications. When installing the 7.5 WUT you need to go to "\Disk1\InstData\VM" and set the Compatibility Mode for "setup.exe" to Windows XP SP2, then you can run the "setup.cmd" file a couple directories up which sets your system path information and runs the installer with the proper arguments. Earlier versions are a little bit easier to install since you just need to set the compatibility mode on the EXE installer. BTW, WUT 7.5 patch 004 crashes whenever it tries to open a FlashBoard on my system, so I downgraded to patch 003. Sincerely, Robert Fults Remedy Admin/Dev.

Nice to know.. Maybe that was what was wrong when I installed the Atrium Orchestrator Dev tool on my laptop. It didn't work correctly after installing and complained about some admin rights when launching the tool when I am the admin of the system! I'll uninstall it the next time I need to use it and install it in XP mode and see if it works..

I am pretty new to Windows 7 myself and can't quite say I like it as yet except for the pretty desktop pictures it comes with out of the box :-) Too much has changed from the XM / Windows 2000 Professional days, and many of those changes appear like they have tried to make things easier for new users just learning a new OS, but has left some of us old school guys wondering where is what..
