Any idea when the new extensions will be complete? I would really like to upgrade our products to Access 2007 but, without the runtime, we can't move forward. I would even be interested in being a Beta Site.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Is there a feature set available for us to see what is not included in the runtime, not the [packager but things like Filter By Form, shortcut menus etc?

I have run into some issues with ribbon behavior when I launch with /runtime. For example, I made a custom ribbon (start from scratch="true") and put the standard ViewFormView and ViewDatasheet view as separate buttons, set the startup form to have both modes available. The ViewFormView button is not visible at all but the ViewDatasheetView button is fine. When launched without /runtime both buttons work great. If I force ViewFormView button to be visible="true" then it does work.

Erik,

With the delay in getting the runtime version available it means that some people who have been using the Office 2007 Trial version will find their package runs out before the runtime is available, even assuming the June target is met. Will an expired trial version of Access 2007 be able to do anything with existing databases, e.g. use them read-only, please? I would hope it would as that was what the unactivated version of the trial version did.

I too would be very interested in trying out the Beta of the runtime if you need any testers (mentioned that to Clint a short while back).

Thanks so lot for your candid information about the actual state. Me too, I'm very expectant to get the runtime!

I’m very interested in being recruter as a Beta Tester. Is that possible? I describe me as a MS Access Project & MS SQL Server serious developer.
