By this I meant that you are not forced to install any specific thing, including Office 2007. Whether you are legally allowed to continue using the older versions of the software that you obtained through the action back is debatable, however there is something specifically about grandfathering some things, which included Windows XP for example. Whether this grandfather extends to Office is what is debatable. John W.

Exactly what the instances are I can't say, I just remember reading something about that in the past. I continue to use 2003 office, I hope that is not illegal. 8-) John W.

I just requalified myself for the Action Pack. I took a 'course'. It took about 30 minutes to take the course and the 'exam'. I can't remember exactly which one (I can look it up if you want), but the dude I was talking to said this was like the shortest distance between the two points. So now I'm ready to get the new Action Pack. Of course, that gets me Access 2007. :( Rocky -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gary Kjos Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 10:07 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Action Pack Question Well they do essentially say that. It's not disabled or anything. It continues to work but you are not SUPPOSED to be using it. On the Action Pack website they list the I've subscribed to it for a number of years now. Not sure that I will continue after this year with the new educational requirement they have added. It is my recollection that the terms have always stated that once you stop subscribing you agree to uninstall and delete all installed copies of software and destroy all media. I'm not sure if they actually disable the electronic key codes or anything though. I've never NOT resubscribed so I don't know what it will do.
