[AccessD] VM for different versions of Access

>My past week's experience starting to learn about Linux has me very

Get over it. ;-)  NOBODY know everything and most of us know very little.  

Back in the 70s I read that at in the 1500s a "genius" could know everything
understood about the world, all science, math, medicine etc.  By 1970 a
Genius could not even know everything known about a single branch of science
- math, physics, chemistry etc.  Man's knowledge of the world was (at that
time) roughly doubling every 4 years.

Today it would be impossible to know everything there is to know about
programming languages or databases.  That is why I laugh so hard when I see
want adds with "must be experienced in Windows, Office, SQL Server, C#,
Java, HTML, etc etc let's throw in every technical term we know..."

"Experienced in" and "useful" are two entirely different things.

I strive to know one or two things very well and I can then look like an
expert somewhere in the world.  I haven't gotten there yet but I still
strive.

Doug, William, et al,

How does one decide which of the files to download?  I'm using IE7, so that
eliminates two of the files, but what would determine my choice among
IE7_VPC.EXE, IE7_VIS1.exe, IE7_VIS2.rar, and IE7_VIS3.rar?

My guess is IE7_VPC.EXE, simply because I see "vpc" in this name, and I have
no idea what "vis1," "vis2," and "vis3" are.  Have I guessed correctly?

Okay, if I'm just dumb, I'm just dumb - but it would be nice to really know
what I'm looking at and what I'm choosing when I download something.  My
past week's experience starting to learn about Linux has me very sensitive
to the several "Swiss Cheese holes" in my knowledge.  
I am going to gamble on my guess and go download IE7_VPC.EXE.

Thanks,
Tina
