Hi Bobby,

with version 7.0.1 on Vista, the following does not evaluate:

Maximize[{proxy, x \[Element] Integers, x <= 20}, x]

The parser seems to have problems with: x \[Element] Integers

It seems to work if one put this condition in an "Assuming":

Assuming[x \[Element] Integers, Maximize[{proxy, x <= 20}, x]]
