Ditto for MS Excel V1.0. That was released in 1985 and was a Mac only software App as well. It wasn't until XL 2.0 in 1987 that the windows version was released. cheers Darryl -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Dan Waters Sent: Monday, 27 July 2009 11:00 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] F'n 2007 That's true - Around 1988 I had a copy of PowerPoint before it was a MS product. It had a hardbound manual about 1/2" thick, and was only for the first small Mac's!

It sort of grew into a suite of applications over time, but early on they were all totally separate apps each built with their own idiosyncrasies. That DNA is still lurking under the hood today. Even in VBA, Excel VBA is rather different than Access VBA to achieve the same thing. cheers Darryl. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Saturday, 25 July 2009 11:21 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] F'n 2007 Interesting. Shows how much I know about Excel. Office is a rather barbaric collection of trash if I do say so myself. John W.
