...hhhmmm ...first, no knowledge re VSTO 2005 ...not there yet. ...I work strictly in A2K3 and the VSTO 2003 requires it to run afaik ...but it will package your installs to run in A2K2 or A2K environments without any problems ...ime the A2K2 ODE had several problems installing to A2K systems, not to mention A2K2 ones ...of course that could just be me ...the VSTO may be doing a good job of baby setting on my bad habits ...all I can say is that I much prefer it over previous editions :) William ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Miller" <gmiller at sistersnet.com> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 4:06 PM Subject: Re: [AccessD] What ODE version to acquire? > William, > > Do you have any knowledge of the differences in VST 2003 and VST 2005 > which seems to also be available now? > > Also, you indicate that this will package all versions from A2K forward. > The documentation seems to indicate that Access 2003 is a requirement with > the package.
