DO you have that "Installing...." thing whenever you switch from 2003 to
2010 of vv?

Subject: [AccessD] The windows 7 upgrade experience

I moved my 3 year old Dell M90 laptop to Windows.  I purchased the Seagate
Momentus XT hybrid drive (it has an SSD cache) and did a clean install of
Windows 7 and started the migration.  So much fun.

I also installed Office 2003 and then Office 2010.  Now, even though 2003 is
the default when I double click an access database, if I right click in a
directory and tell it to create a new database, it creates an Access 2010
database.

Does anyone know where that property is stored / changed?

Windows is soooooo much fun.

I have to say I like Windows 7 much better than Vista.  I realize it is
really just Vista Service Pack 57 but it still just seems to work better.

And I really like the combination of the Seagate XT drive and Windows 7
(clean install).  So far it is booting to the logon in just a few seconds
and from there to a usable desktop in just a few more seconds.  And yea, I
know that it may not stay that way after installing / uninstalling a jillion
things.  But for today it feels like a brand new computer.
