>> Hi Tony and William
>> Thanks for your further responses. I'd have to buy Access 2003 (only have
>> 97, 2000 and 2002), which I can get from Amazon. There is, as William
>> says,
>> a copy of the "Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003" on Amazon (in the US

>> What

>> Windows so do you envisage problems on Vista/Windows 7? Any thoughts?
>> Already done it?
