2007 vs. 2003 How do you find working in 2007?

[colezpapa3]

Are many of you using 2007 for production applications. And how do you find working in it vs. 2003. I hate it.
Just curious. What do you like and what do you hate?

Hi,

DITTO! I, fortunately, have both 2003 and 2007. When I code an application, which I just did for my wife, a comparative market real estate property analysis application, it is designed and coded in 2003 and tested in 2007. I am nearly totally lost in 2007. It's getting better, but the transition is extremely slow and vastly frustrating!!!

Skip,

What were they thinking?

Hate it!

Lost with the menus.
A tip here is to memorise the specific keystrokes, they seem to have been transferred across. So F11 still opens the (equivalent of) the database window, Ctrl G opens the immediate window in the debugger etc.

Menus! WHAT menu is a better discription. Ther is some sites around well for word/excel that show screen shot of 2003 and what to do in 2007.

I am concerned with transferring a database to 2007 as it is a new ball game. My has over 100pages of VB code, and I know it will not work in 2007. But that a new topic.

Never give up never give in.

There are no short cuts to anything worth doing

Any chance that the next release will go back to the 2003 look and feel. This is what I hate about Microsoft...you finally get to a point where you are really good with the software, then they change it...and those ribbon menus are a horror....

assets, I have several Acc 2003 and one person who has 2007 'cause we could'nt get 03 anymore. Everything works just fine in 2007. I write reams of VBA been doing it since 1992. VBA editor is unchanged. Looks acts and does everything exactly the same. But if your database has a switchboard form and the main database window is hidden you cannot unhide it 'cause there is no "Windows" menu option and Unhide. so I have to make changes to the design of anything in 2003. I would suppose if you converted everything to 2007 and don't have 2003 anywhere to unhide the main window, then you will be SOL to make changes to the design of databases!

There is some keystroke combination that will show the old menues (but I forget which keys - something like Alt-F11). You can also minimize the Ribbon (right-click on it to find that command).
