[AccessD] Observations on AC 2007 (not good)

I'm actually happier with 2007.   I have a workaround for the ribbon so that 2007 uses my custom toolbars instead (and works in 2000/2002/2003).   But that method is NOT working in 2010.  

Plus, 2010 seems to have a bug that causes extra pages to print in a report (header on a blank page), where they do not in 2000, 2003 or 2007.

  Unfortunately, my two clients are mandating operation in BOTH 2003 and 2007
  versions:
  Brutal, simply brutal.
  Once again, Microsoft's mindset of strategically pulling AC2003 run-time off
  the shelves so that users are forced into AC2007 just makes matters worse.
  They effectively cut off the legs of AC developers....that's US !
