Easing the transition from Access 2003 to 2007

One of our Access MVPs, Oliver Stohr, has just released his new web site focusing on helping users make the switch from Access 2003 to Access 2007.  Oli has some good tutorial content which should be useful for those of you who are just getting started with Access 2007, and also check out his blog.  He’s been working with some members of the Access team producing content for Access Advisor Magazine.

This comments isn't for this post, but the other is disabled.

I read the access runtime conditions, it says " * keep the status bar containing the statement "Powered by Microsoft Office Access" displayed in your user interface to be viewed by users at all times;"

This is really necessary? The reference in the about box isn't enough?

I use a bunch of other programs, and they only want a file with the license, why with microsoft as to be like this?

Hi,

if I remember right it has something to do with the round Office button in the top left corner. It isn't property of the Access team so their is a status bar clarification.

Anyway both should be enough a reference in the about box.

I think access a great program to make programs, but these kind of things makes me (and many others I believe) to use other solutions, even if it's hardest to code.

Where did you find the runtime conditions?

It's the first window when you start installing access runtime (the one that was released for 1-2 days).

I think Access is tops as well (I've been developing with it since v1.1), but I would never want my runtime app to be forced to display such a message "at all times" either. The Help/About dialog is plenty, anything else severely dilutes the front-end's presentation.

On the original topic -- many thanks to Mr. Stohr for such an excellent site.
