I currently have Train Tracker 5, but my XP PC is dieing and TT5 is not compatable with Windows 7. Does anybody have any suggestions on what is W7 compatable and can easely be filled by TT5 with out reentering every piece one by one?

It does say the software may be incompatible with Vista and 7 but have you tried it? Also if you are running Win7 Pro you can download the XP emulator from Microsoft. It will give you a virtual XP computer inside Win7. I use this from time to time and it works quite well but takes a few seconds to load.

Take a look at MI Trains and see what you think.

Yes I did when I first got my laptop. I even tried running it in XP mode through Windows 7. The PC came with a program for such things, even had a friend who is realy good with windows and could not make it run. This download you are referring to, is this something new from Microsoft? My laptop is about 2 years old, so maybe this is something new! I just hate the thought of having to reenter several hundred items again.

Another good reason for putting it all into some industry standard format such as Excel.
Have you tried importing the data into Excel?

No it has been around since Vista came out. I use a database oriented programming language that will not run in Win7 64 bit mode. I installed the XP mode and the program thinks it's running on an XP computer. An in fact it actually is. You can only get and use this if you have Vista Pro or Win 7 Pro and above. It is not available for home. It interfaces nicely with 7 so you can have an icon on the desktop to click on and it will bring up XP and the program.
