[AccessD] F'n 2007

The object models are different, so it's reasonable that the language
would be implemented differently, especially since separate teams worked
to develop each version.  It took a while for them to bring some of the
apps over from the Mac and they bought others.  On the other hand,
that's how other suites have been created, so it isn't just Microsoft.
I remember when Lotus came out with Symphony, which was built all of a
piece and drove me nuts!  Give me good individual programs any day.

I think a big part of the issue is Office was never originally an
integrated product, rather a collection of software bundled up. 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.
