[AccessD] Several Questions regarding versions

Arthur
I use A2002 on my desktop, A2003 on my laptop, port
backwards and forwards between the 2 ... and apart from the
odd Reference correction that needs making I've never come
across an issue.

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.
