<SNIP> Built for use with Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Studio Tools for Office will be available shortly after Microsoft Office 2003 is released in late summer 2003. Visual Studio Tools for Office will also contain the Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions (including the royalty-free Access runtime and additional developer tools), Visual Basic .NET Standard Edition and SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition. <SNIP> there -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com On Thursday, August 07, 2003 8:08 AM [GMT-8], Charlotte Foust <cfoust at infostatsystems.com> wrote: : And free or not, I still don't see any mention of Access or any other : desktop database in there unless you extrapolate from ADO.Net somehow. : : Charlotte Foust : : -----Original Message----- : From: Gustav Brock [mailto:gustav at cactus.dk] : Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 11:09 PM : To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving : Subject: Re: [AccessD] No Office 2003 ODE (Office Developer Edition)? : : : Hi Marty : : But is this a thought or a decision? : Sounds like those tools are not for free ... : :::: 2 and 3 are free downloads. : : /gustav : : :: Have a look at this to see if makes sense. :: Microsoft Developer Tools Roadmap 2003-2005 :: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/productinfo/roadmap.aspx#office : :: Gustav Brock wrote: : ::: Sorry for being dense, but I still cannot see if/how Visual Studio ::: fits into the picture of Access development. ::: ::: I'm aware that Visual Studio might bring some (Internet) features to ::: Access development, but what is important is to distinguish between ::: offers/features and needs.
