[AccessD] Office 2003 and 2007

Hi Susan,

By "expected", I meant it was acknowledged and explained by Microsoft on the 
release of Access 2007.  In some circles it quickly became known as "the 
coffee break".  I do not know the technical details - something about the 
versions using some of the same components, and so registry edits needing to 
be made depending on the current version being loaded.

I knew you would have installed the SPs, so that's why I was surprised to 
hear you say that it had got worse.

However, I just tried it a couple of times on my computer.
2003 => 2007    42 seconds
2007 => 2003    14 seconds
2003 => 2007    37 seconds
2007 => 2003    12 seconds

... which is longer than I thought - so I must have become accustomed to it!

Anyway, I agree that it's a pain!

Regards
Steve
