| | Re: Lotus Approach from Smartsuite 9.8 - need help Contact the manufacture (Corel now I believe) and see what their plans are for Vista in the future.

| | Re: Lotus Approach from Smartsuite 9.8 - need help I tend to disagree. Lotus Smartsuite works under SBS 2003 and XP. It should run under Vista unless something in the Vista broke Lotus Approach.

| | Re: Lotus Approach from Smartsuite 9.8 - need help IBM support has no answer. I expect that there will be a new version next year. I agree the Lotus Smartsuite is a dead program with little future.
