Server 2003 x64 edition

As 70% of new servers sold from dell are 64 bit.. I have to assume that the lacerte and dms data directories can be stored on a shared drive from a server running 2003 server x64... will there be any issue?32 bit os's don't even support the new hardware coming out anymore, 4gb ram max? come on...I realize lacerte (pathetically) doesn't support 64 bit os's as per their sys. req. page, but I assume this is only in reference to the workstation apps. Anyone running their data directories (1998-2007) on an x64 server? Any issues?Thanks in advance!

We only use 32-bit, but as long as the application is running from 32-bit Windows, it should not matter in the least whether the data share is 32-bit, 64-bit, *nix, or something else.

We haven't tested the product on the 64-bit version, but as long as you are just using the server for data storage, it should not affect functionality.

We currently run a Dell PowerEdge server with Windows Server 2003 R2 Storage Edition x64. As another user previously posted, it shouldn't matter what class of server the data is stored on; although through experience, we have found that the data responds better on a Windows-based server OS than on older versions of Novell (5.1). So far we haven't encountered problems with the 1996-2006 Lacerte Tax programs running on this x64 server.

Thanks!

I am moving all of our data folders to a 64bit server... let's hope for the best... I noticed there are lacerte program files installed in the C: drive as well as the data share... odd.
