[AccessD] Article on stuff broken in Access 2007

I am being forced to work into Access 2007 by two of my clients.  One is a
branch of a large corporation which has switched completely to Office 2007
as company policy.  At the moment 'my' branch is running several Access 2000
BE/FE databases under Access 2007.  There have been minor issues, but no
significant problems.   We will convert over to full Access 2007 databases
gradually.  The other client is running a network with mixed Access
2003/Access 2007; the owner is a 'bleeding edge technology'  fan who is keen
to convert fully to 2007 and is also pressuring me to try using SQL Server
Express as the BE.  We have had some significant problems (like failed
updates and bizarre fatal errors) on the machines running Access 2007, but
unfortunately most problems have been intermittent and not reproducible on
my Access 2007 development system (running in a virtual machine).  FWIW, it
doesn't seem to matter whether the Access 2007 machines run the FE as an
Access 2003 .mdb or a converted Access 2007 .accdb.
