[AccessD] FW: Office 365

[James Button]

That would - I assume be a 'large-scale implementation with some background
supporting facilities - 
Or - do you mean using just the Outlook.com and MS storage (whatever
jurisdiction that store and it's 3rd party and 'agent' and 'agency' access comes
under)  for your emails 

One Note - yes - but do you (and the users) use Onedrive

Office 2013 and 2016 - U understood they would not co-exist on a system - or do
you have a mix of versions throughout your users?
And if so - how do you provide whatever version the user is used-to to them at
time-of-use
 
Unlimited storage free - what facility provides that storage - and what are the
terms of it's use - and withdrawal. 

I'm not 'dissing' or downing your decision to use the facility - for free it's a
good bet for recommendation at any site.

I am interested in your usage of the facility - 
Provision to staff and students, or use as part of the office administration
facility - as in do you use Project, Visio, Publisher, web based forms and
publication mode, data extraction from databases?
I presume as you posted on the Access forum you are using tabled data in Excel -
powerpivot, charts, comparing historic sets of data etc.  


My post was purely personal experience - but I did get an email from a Onedrive
support person stating the problems I reported would not change in the near
future ( years)  
Then again I have not tries using it since the 'change' that was implemented
recently in the app - whatever that was supposed to do!

I log on from any pc in the university and instant access to all files including
save as links in word etc.

I OneNote a meeting and same including my phone, pc, tablet etc

Email for around 30000 users free, SharePoint for same free. Office 2013 for
same free. Office 2016  free including install on 5 devices free.

Unlimited storage free.

Hard to beat.

Wadda U mean - NOT fun.

It's great fun for the user -
Such interesting times, so many novel experiences and - well OK some deja-vu.

Sorry for typo's etc. Was trying to get out before Noon - Ha! OK it was just a
passing thought (hope).
And still cannot get over the Chat-line "Tech" saying he didn't know the source
of the message -
As I had not got a paid-for support contract he wouldn't help, or even advise me
how to determine if it was from MS -

So advised I should just                CLICK ON DISMISS  -


Re outlook 2016 file update - bet those taking the 30 day trial were 'appy.
Meant to say occasionally I get outlook 2010 invoked from a web page - I moved
the files so it gets upset about that rather than their 2016 content.
  (conversion to 2016 from 2010 was not much of a problem - all seemed to come
across OK - just needed to sort out some columns and views - and the new font
selection and read/not read changed mode - more spacing so less on the screen)
There are some things missing from the 2016 app setup options and you'll need to
setup some ribbon commands etc. for all the extra things that are in the NOT ON
RIBBON list.
Formats etc.

If considering the actual 365 apps - there is a lot you cannot do with the
online apps
 - as in
Onedrive is not setup to be a safe to use environment for file storage, let
alone co-operative file management.
And the msword app will not handle most of the file formats the PC based version
will,
And the Excel app is getting lots of additional data handling facilities - but
there is not the VBA control facilities, or multi-workbook handling facility.

Then again - that is the 'Family' version, Maybe, just maybe the Business
version of the 365 package is lots better -
Well, you'll be paying all that extra for the uprated facilities and support!
(S a r c h a s m  !)
