I have to disagree. Perhaps if we'd all been weaned on Macs, we'd like it, but then I never liked the Mac's "intuitive" UI either. The ribbon is the next logical step from personalized menus, which I also hated. With the kind of confusion personalized menus tended to cause, you'd think they would have thought long and hard before dumping the ribbon on us, but I doubt that they did. Now you see it, now you don't is great for stage magicians but not for software developers.

Susan, If the ribbon had been there all along, everyone would like it. Don't you think it's just the change that people object to? Once we get used to it, we'll gripe when we have to use an older version that doesn't have it. I know I've been guilty of such gripes, anyway. :) Tina Susan Harkins wrote: > The biggest PITA was figuring out where the menu items are in 2007. > > ========I know I'm committing Access hari-kari, but I like the 2007 ribbon. > :) > > Susan H. > > -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
