I did, and it is neat. I installed XP as the OS. The program runs, but the
problem is that Timeslips and QuickBooks are installed on Vista so it cannot
identify the paths to them. I tried sharing the folders with mapped drives,
but that doesn't work. The only way I would be able to have this work is to
install Timeslips and QuickBooks on the Virtual PC, which I am hesitant to
do. These programs and their data are very important, and I do not know
what the pros and cons of setting it up this way. I use them all day, every
day, as well as access them remotely. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Is there anyway I can get a 16 bit program to run in vista? The program
is
a transport link between Timeslips 2008 and QuickBooks 2007. It freezes
every time it starts the link to QuickBooks. Any help is appreciated.
Are you using 64-bit Vista? If you are, the answer is no.
The best solution is install MS VirtualPC 2007, which is free, and then
install Win9x/2000/XP on that and run it from there. It's a very neat
solution to your problem.
