Re: [XMLPipeDB-developer] windows 7 issue

Greetings,

The Access database location issue is probably the same one encountered with Vista.  We had some code in there that goes something like "if it's Vista, look for the Jet engine here..."  We'll probably need an equivalent for Windows 7; I'll look it up.

The progress bar look is, unfortunately, Java's standard look for progress bars that don't display definite amounts done.  The display of definite values may or may not be possible, depending on whether a mechanism exists for reporting how much progress has been made (many of our import calls are "one-liners" --- i.e., one invokes the command and waits for it to be done; there is no default "status report" as the command is in progress).  I can look into that, but there is a chance that it may not be possible (especially for the code that relies on other libraries in particular).
