[RBG7-L] - RE: Getting R:BASE for DOS to run full screen on W2K

[John Engwer]

Bernie and Scott   I  have all of the settings that you suggest except for the compatibility setting.  Bernie, where do you change that? RBase runs OK, the only problem is the size of the screen.  The operator that uses this app has a vision problem so screen size is critical.   I converted this customer several months ago to 7.1 except for one application that was used only for a customer that had gone bankrupt (no need to convert). Now the bankruptcy court said that they need to supply updated reports if the want to receive payment so they need access to the DOS application for a couple of weeks to complete the task.     John       From: rbg7-l@rbase.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.
