[AccessD] Deploying - Access 2003

Andy

...imnsho, anyone running Vista deserves what they get :)
...I'm still on XP with Win 7 on a vhd ...I'm waiting for the SP1 on Win 7 
before I get serious about upgrading ...I've run a couple of my major A2k3 
apps on it and not noted any problems ...but I've also noted that others 
here have gotten into Win7 in more depth and there appear to be a number of 
small gotchas ...another reason to wait for SP1 ...I'm passing A2k7 
completely, it's a mess imnsho ...maybe A2k10 but I'm much more interested 
in VS 2010 as I've noted before.
