[AccessD] Several Questions regarding versions

Note the "With Forms(m_sFormName)" that opens that block of code,
Arthur.  You can use a bang in that case, just like a dot.  The bang
just tells Access you're referring specifically to a control.

Questions for AccessD

1. What changed from version 2002 to 2003? I've been using 2003 for so
long that I can't remember 2002. As I recall it was buggy so they
hurried out a fix that was called 2003. Can anyone confirm or deny?
What's in 2003 that is not in 2002? (The reason for this question is
that I'm up for an interview for a contract and the client specified
2002 experience. I can't think of a single person that uses 2002.) 2.
Are there any tutorials available for how to customize the 2007 ribbon?
I think it's been asked and answered but I forget the answer. Has anyone
found a way to programmatically turn off the ribbon?
3. Perusing some interesting Access 2007 code for a wizard builder, I
came across the following syntax:
    With Forms(m_sFormName)
        !sfcWizPanel.SourceObject = arrPanels(m_nCurrentPanel -
1).sSubForm
      'and more similar statements
I've never seen a line of code that begins with an exclamation point
before.
It appears to be no different than a dot. Is it used because of the
subsequent dot notation on the remainder of the line?
4. All the 2007 samples are written with macros not code. But when in
Design mode on a form, on the Database Tools ribbon tab there is a
command to turn all the macros on a form into VBA code. It works like a
charm, so I've converted all the samples to VBA code. My question: was
this ability always there (i.e. in 2003) and I simply didn't ever notice
it, or is it new to 2007?

Thanks in advance.
Arthur
