Erik,

Could you please advise what is the size of these presentations in MBytes?

There places on Earth where Internet traffic have to be paid per MB, as it's here in Spb, Russia. And these Internet traffic megabytes are quite expensive.

Thank you.

I can't seem to find the size, but they're very large. There is an hour of video at about 300*400px with audio, and screenshots of all the slides. The clips are set to stream, but if you have to pay for bandwidth, they'll be pretty big.

I couldn't find any reference to Data Access Pages (DAPs) in any of the posts or movies.

Are DAPs still supported? Is it safe to start a new project using DAPs? Is the underlying RDO technology being phased out? Is it better to use .NET instead of DAPs?

I started testing in the off 12 beta since mid nov '05. I am first focussing on 'access' as it has been one of my developing tools since version 1.2. Just to say that making the PDC content on-line available, is a great help in understanding the concepts behind eg the new UI. So if you don't have problems with (too) much mega-download, it helps a lot if you couldn't attend, thx ( my case: Europe-Belgium ) ...
