[AccessD] Access and Office 365 (SharePoint)

Wow. Sounds like there's an opportunity for someone to create a good 
database development system for desktops out there, since Microsoft is 
apparently abandoning us. I have Office 2007 at home and at work; I have 
no interest in SharePoint. Using right-clicking is still really important 
in my apps - having no command bars in Access 2013 will negate that. When 
others here say it's basically web-based, I'm assuming that means 
intranets as well as the Internet. Even so, if the IT people don't want to 
set that up, it sounds like we're really stuck. Sure hope my company does 
not "upgrade" to Office 2013 any time soon.

 A2013 doesn't support command bars...it's now no longer possible to hide
the ribbon.

 A2013 doesn't support JET 3.x or prior.  You can no longer open anything
prior to A2000.

 A2013 doesn't support the DBF format.
 
 A2013 doesn't support ADP's.

 A2013 doesn't support replication. 

 A2013 pivot charts and tables are gone.

 So from the desktop viewpoint, A2013 no longer has a number of features
which we've used over the years.

 Hence it was the last "full" version.

Jim.
