Opinion question

[BobNTN]

I can't think of a better place to ask or better people to ask, but:

I am using Office 2003 Pro. Since I have went to Win 7,
Thinking of changing to 2007 or 2010

Is either worth the change as far as Access goes ?

Would appreciate opinions.

I believe Access 2007 was a considerable improvement but many developers hate it because of the radical interface changes.

What do you want that Access2003 can’t do?

Stick with your current setup. I am using 2007 on Win 7 and found it took me a while to learn the new interface layout and I am still learning.

I found that when using the forms wizard 2007 uses embedded macros to perform some tasks which would be shown as code in 2003. I now use a blank form instead of wizards. Also, the colour scheme in 2007 uses hexadecimal which is a pain when using code to change a background or font colour.

Doesn't run all that well with Win 7. Excel & Word seem to be fine but lots of problems with Access 2003 with Win 7.

Matter of fact, Microsoft says it will NOT RUN with Win 7, although I do have it running except problems with Access.

I'm using access 2003 with Win 7 on my home computer (not networked to anything) and haven't experienced any problems

Just curious what problems have you experienced?

Personally thinking that will delay for a couple more years and then go straight to 2010 fomr 2003

Doesn't 2007 come with capability to make run-time ?
