[AccessD] Poll on Access 2007

Steve

"In spite of your insulting comments" Steve

...just so we're clear here ...I find your entire thread on this insulting 
to those of us who make a living day in and day out with MS products ...you 
talk as if we're spoiled brats unable to appreciate the wondrous changes MS 
wrought for us with A2007 ...imnsho, you appear more interested in 
maintaining your mvps tag than you are in listening to those who are here 
daily and have been here for years working with MS Access and defending it 
against all comers ...if MS WAS listening ...at all ...to working 
developers, they'd have at least tried to fix serious bugs that have been in 
the system for three or more versions ...Allen Browne has had the list 
posted for years now and updates it frequently ...every time MS asks what 
we'd like to see in the next version, that list has been submitted ...over 
and over and over ...and what did the wondrous Access 2007 development team 
fix?

...they "fixed" the freakin' menu ...which was NOT broken ...at least not 
before they "fixed" it.

...did they fix the long standing bugs? ...yeah, right.

...and I'll lay you any odds you like the list won't be fixed in A2010 
...but the ribbon will still be there, eh

...if they call that "listening" they are in serious need of a hearing aid 
...imnsho of course

...have a nice day :)

William
