[AccessD] Poll on Access 2007

Steve,

Yes, this is also my impression - MS Access 2010's "What's new" list is
currently covered by a "secrecy hood". Strange. Especially comparing with
how open is every new version/release of .NET Framework/VS - starting from
very early CTPs to Betas (although I have never tried to find what new
features' proposals of the .NET Framework/VS developers are taken into
account by MS - probably just a few if any).

Sorry, I've got your strong reaction on "attacks" as your being relatively
new here - I also do not "lurk"/post that often here these days - I should
have missed your previous posts on other topics here...

Yes, I have seen that - it looks like there were something like 50% of new
methods, properties and especially events added in MS Access 2007 comparing
with MS Access 2003? But I must say I didn't have opportunity to use them as
by MS Access 2007 release I have got already switched to .NET Framework/VS
development. As far as I see MS Access 2007 allows to have "interactive
reports" - I mean MS Access reports' controls enabled to react on different
events as mouse clicks, mouse over etc., and MS Access reports reacting on
similar events and "On Mouse Wheel" event - did you find good use of those
"interactive reports" features in your customers applications?

Yes, that sounds as VBA is getting revived...

Thank you.

Shamil,

To my knowledge, there are only very general comments publicly available 
about Access 2010.  The Access team at Microsoft have been keeping the cards

very close to their chests.

However, the launch of the Technical Preview (i.e. Beta) of Office 2010, 
including Access 2010 and SharePoint 2010, is expected within a few weeks, 
and after that I am expecting to see a lot more detailed information 
floating around, and a lot more lively discussion.

By the way, I have been a member of this forum for several years.  I'm sorry

I only post occasionallly, but I normally read some of the posts here every 
day, so I am familiar with the general culture. Thanks. :-)

As for your reference to VBA, of course with Access 2007 we got a lot of new

objects and methods and properties.  Plus support for scroll-wheel in IDE. 
:-)  Obviously the move to 64 bit Access version will have some implications

for VBA.  But what enhancements in VBA will come with Office 2010, we will 
just have to wait and see.  Interesting to note that VBA will now be 
included in Mac Office, so... still on the rise.

Regards
Steve
