Tony, I just bought a new laptop for my development machine. I purchased XP Pro. I have licenses for and use all the versions of Office up through 2003. I do not have 2007, nor do I intend to use it unless a client forces me to. I have used Access since 1992, and Office / Access 2003 is the end of the line for me AFAICT. Microsoft has been adamant that making 2007 easy for the developer to use, and easy for the developer to design systems that look and work the way the developer thinks is appropriate is not important to Microsoft. Entonces, Adios. John W.

Am I correct from what I have been reading that I should be going to Access 2003 and Windows XP and to avoid Access 2007 and Vista. And that I should be looking at the Access Extensions Developer Kit and not Visual Studio. Any advice will be appreciated, remember this is an old dog trying to learn new tricks. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
