Access 2007 - benefits

[GaryPanic]

Any pointers on this (preferably from non MS employees)
is there an increase in size ??
speed
easy of use ?


would it be good to put up a wish list that we want access to have
from the posts I have seen
an easier way of creating pdf would be a start

you have a report wizard- why not a pdf report wizard that automatically puts the pdf coding behind the report (or somesuch coding)- probably better if it was a button wizard ???
better word intergration possibly

dunno ?? any thoughts -

Err, PDF is owned by Adobe, and it's not included in MS products for that reason. If you happen to own Acrobat, then you can use the Distiller object in VBA code to output directly to a PDF.

As for what's new, look at boblarson's post for a short list of the few things he's found cool or new or interesting so far. There are a few other posts in here as well.

Here's one short review I found. If you Google for "MS Access 2007 Reviews" you'll find a lot of non-Microsoft reviews, most of which are pretty positive from what I could tell.

Thanks M
normally I wait for a while and let other find out the bugs in a system then decide is it worth it _ one of the reasons why i am still on 2000

Although with Office 2007, there is a separate FREE add-in that you can download from the Microsoft site and install (and I have) that allows you to create PDF or XPS files from any Office application.
