[AccessD] Office 2007

Well, I already admitted I was grumpy. I think that, if I had the time (and
the inclination)to do what I did originally (learn Access 2.0, which was
then brand-new), it might work. I don't think I want to go that far right
now and so I'm cheating (and I'll understand if you all want to throw me off
the list permanently for this one). I'm doing all the upgrades in 2003, then
I'll convert it and smile sweetly and cash the check.

The alleged improvements seem without exception to dazzle all Office users
who have never sniffed a line of code. I must be old-fangled -- I cannot yet
deem one reason why "ribbons" are better than the menubar; nor can I find
menu items that I used to be able to find eyes-closed.

Apparently somebody has released an add-in that puts the classic menu back
into the picture while hiding the ribbons.

On the plus side, I really do love the navigation bar in Access 2007.
