Ooh you forgot one: 6) That spiffy dancing paper clip is absent from Access 2. We waited forever to upgrade our Access 2 apps, and even then we didn't upgrade to the newest version (2000 instead of XP). It normally takes at least a year until a service pack fixes the critical bugs introduced with each new version. And I concur with Gustav. Our remaining 2.0 apps run just as well on Windows XP (and they are immune from any 32-bit library upgrades that tend to break office applications). -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Francisco H Tapia Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 1:40 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Changing to newest version of ACCESS?
