[AccessD] Time warp?

Agree about A2003.  Just had an old client call tonight about transferring
an old app from WXP & A2003 to W7 and A2007.  Would you believe they were
having problems?  I'm going there next week to take a look.

Meanwhile, does O2010 look as good as O2003?  Because no matter how much we
like it O2003 will go away some day just line A97.

In my opinion 2003 was the best version ever created.  There were issues
with classes and withevents back in 97.
