LOL, yea I hear you. I am very impressed with .Net. The real question though is "does it run BETTER on vista than XP Pro? Faster? More security? Fewer bugs in the OS itself? I very much believe that Vista will someday, probably someday soon now, be "as good as" XP or even better. I am patient in this regard. I can wait until the early adopters shake the bugs out for me. Likewise Office 2007. It is truly annoying that they did not allow me the ability to turn off the ribbons in Access. In this regard I simply have no choice. My clients dictate what they use by their refusal to move to a higher resolution screen. It comes back to money, the small companies are tight fisted and replacing 50 employees monitors with 19" screens so that they can have a ribbon bar at the top is a non-starter for them. John W.

Just a real life story... (I'd think MS Access 2007 would also be that stable running custom apps on Vista although everybody knows that MS Access 2.0, 97, 2003 - all were also very stable when properly programmed...) -- Shamil -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
