No, there is no "classic" view switch in Access 2007.

I think you're right, AccessJunkie. But with 2007, things are not where you expect them. I'm trying to find - as a for-instance - in reports, the charts wizard. I spent a good half hour last night looking for it.
Things like that are really frustrating. Doesn't it mean, we have to learn a whole new layout, and yet recall all the layouts from, well, 97 onwards.
so I thought perhaps there might be a way to get 2007 to display like, well, access 2000. cheers paul

Hi Kupe,
Microsoft really changed up Access 2007. I like to compare it to a snow globe; they really shook it up big time!
You're not alone in seeing an initial decrease in productivity. You will find yourself scratching your head trying to find where everything is for several weeks. Give it time because eventually it will sink in; trust me on that. I actually find myself becoming a little lost going back to previous versions because I'm very accustomed to the new interface now.
If you'd like some help learning where all the menu bar and toolbar commands are located in the Ribbon, I recommend you do the following:
1. Open Access 2007
2. Click the Help button in the upper right corner
3. Maximize the Help screen if it's too small to see things easier
4. In the Help Search box in the upper left corner type this in:
HA10166606
(You can copy and paste it from here if you'd like)
5. Now hit the Search button
6. Access should now list the perfect help topic you need (Result 1 of 1)
7. Click the link to read the help topic on this subject.
You'll find a link in that article to the "Access Ribbon Mapping Workbook." You'll definitely want to save this spreadsheet! You'll be able to easily see on a series of tabs where are all the commands have been moved in the Ribbon.
