This is the worst version of Access since 1995. Now I discover that queries no longer have a subdatasheet dialog box. (Yes, I know they have problems, but I need to use them anyway. Yes, I know there are other more difficult ways of doing this) And I have to suffer through 10 crashes a day. Not to mention the very long list of reproducible bugs I have created (all submitted to MS , with no response or fix.)

Why would anyone want to train on this version? It's professional suicide.

For the record, I been programming in Access 2007 nearly every day since its release. I've been using Access since version 1. 2007 is a fiasco. It is not a quality product, and functions worse than a beta 1 release. A huge embarrassment for MS. High sales is no indicator of quality. It's an indicator of market hype and MS distortions.
