Hi all,

My name is Jason and I am a Medical Physicist in Canberra, Australia. I am also a beginner of firebird.

I am trying to establish a database for storing the radiation dose records on a new laptop and use it as a server host that every desktop in our department can communicate to. Before the new laptop, we have been using the old laptop (running window XP) with a database built by firebird but this laptop will be dismantled very soon.

My aims are (i) establishing a new database on the new computer and (ii) ensuring that the old records are safely transferred. My first question is whether Firebird 1.5.6 is compatible to Window 7. In addition, would anyone please advise on the new database establishment as well as the record transferral as I am really a newbie to firebird.

Thanks a lot for your help.
