Hi Suri,

SAP GUI 7.10 is the earliest version which is supported by SAP for use on
Vista. Patchlevel 2 or later is recommended.

I've heard of people using SAP 6.40 but I believe they had some problems, I
don't know how severe.

If you need to run SAP GUI 6.40, you'd probably want to run it on an XP
machine. One convenient way to run XP and Vista at the same time, on the
same machine, is Microsoft's Virtual PC add-on:
Virtual PC 2007
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...c/default.mspx
It's free.

But if your SAP backend can handle a SAP GUI 7.10 client, then you can run
it on Vista.

For more info, you can try asking in the SAP user forum:

Hope it helps,
