Vista Known Issues

1/24/11
The method by which the Order Manager communicates with Linkpoint credit card processing services is incompatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7. Stone Edge is currently researching possible solutions for this problem.
 
Note from the Editor (9/29/09): UPS Worldship is now compatible with Microsoft Vista, see the UPS web site for version specific information. The majority of other issues mentioned on this page have been resolved by installing the latest version of the Order Manager; installing the latest service packs from Microsoft for Microsoft Access 2007 and Microsoft Vista; and by following the version appropriate instructions found in the following knowledge base articles:

Access 2003 Notes
