[AccessD] Office 365 Developer Program

[Darryl Collins]

I have said this a few times before.  You have to compare 'apples to apples' here folks.  What I call and consider to be 'Office 365' might be very different to your 'Office 365' option and user experience.

See <<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_365#Plans>> for a decent summary of plans and options.

There is also a big variance in functionality between the online apps and their much more powerful desktop parents.

Assuming you are using a plan that allows for Desktop application you will be fine.  Otherwise 'Here be Dragons....'

Regards
Darryl.

Mark,

I don't see those huge issues.  VBA works the same in Office 365 as it does in Office locally installed.  I have both and there is no difference.  What is your exact experience, because it doesn't jibe with mine.
