[AccessD] Another assessment....2007

?Mark,

I can't think of any advantage of ACCDB/E over MDB/E but this URL gives you 
some possible advantages. I guess the SharePoint integration could be useful 
but none of my customers are asking for it. 
http://databases.about.com/od/access/a/accdb.htm
Aside from being familiar with 2003 making it easier for me to work in, if I 
were to create an ACCDB, then only clients with 2007 or greater could use 
it. Many of my clients have mixed systems and are not willing or ready to 
upgrade all their PC at this time so they like me prefer 2003 applications.

That is good news Bill.
But absent the need for attachment columns,
is there any benefit to a ACCDB format vs. an MDB (or ACCDE vs. MDE) ?

My big issue is that testing and debugging just seems so much faster with
AC2003 vs. AC2007.
Technically, the client is penalizing themselves by mandating development in
AC2007, aren't they ?
