[AccessD] No Office 2003 ODE (Office Developer Edition)?

VS dosnt really fit in yet. The office .net tools I am aware of only apply
to Word and Excel. Nothing on Access. The developers tools I have for Access
are stand alone. They say they havnt yet worked out what and how to package
the stuff for selling.
