Welcome back JWC!

About the only thing I can throw into the mix here is that Access 2007
has a new file format.  You can use an .mdb format, but some of the
'new' features of A2007 are only available when you use the new format,
which has a new extension. (forgot what it is off the top of my head,
think it's accdb or something, it's more then 3 letters).

Subject: [AccessD] New Client and Access 2007

Hello ladies and gentlemen.  It appears that I may have a 
new client, and unfortunately he is tasked with moving an 
app from Access 97 to Access 2007.  I am not really sure 
what my part of the project is but I have to get prepared by 
getting up to speed on Access / office 2007.  I read with 
interest the thread about turning off the ribbon bar and 
discovering what version you are in (drops into the framework).

I also read the thread about 2007 and previous versions 
fighting each other on startup so I will be running 2007 in 
a VM on my dev machine so as not to screw everything up.

Any other words of wisdom?

Also has anyone heard from Arthur lately?  I read his post 
about medical issues and then silence...
