thank you, Clint! Warm Regards,

Will Access/Office 2010 co-exist on one development machine with Access/Offic 2007 Can Access 2010 be used to support Access 2003 and 2007 apps? (imples that Office 2007 can be removed from machine when installing Office 2010). In other words, how many machines will a developer need to support various clients who may be running anything from Access 2003 to Access 2010?
Dave: The only reliable way to develop for multiple versions is to use the lowest common denominator, which in your case appears to be Access 2003. Then test your solutions in the later versions for any customers who need the same application, but for a later version of Access. Although one can install multiple versions of Access on one partition, I do not recommend doing so. Instead, you will be miles ahead to invest in virtualization technology, so that you can create separate virtual machines that closely emulate your customers' environment for both Operating system and version of Office, including any service packs for both the operating system and Office. Microsoft offers the free Virtual PC solution. Another alternative that is not free, but is superior in my opinion, is VMWare's Workstation. www.vmware.com/.../workstation Tom Wickerath

To Dave Thompson: Our company stretch access to the limit, sagekey for access runtime installer is one of the decent solution to enable you install multiple version of access without conflict. another professional solution is thinstall application virtualization; wherein you can package your finish app (mde/Accde/accdr) plus runtime into a single native executable. but thinstall package fails in windows 7, so we tried the xenocode. and it works perfectly from xp to windows 7. although the price of that technology is quite high. that is the trade off of ms access (the king of RAD frontEnd dev't tool) cheers, ERwin
ClintC: Can I dream that there will be an Express version of MS Sharepoint 2010 for us? I keep reading about new WEB features but I will not use them because we do not have MS Sharepoint 2010 and hosted version is not allowed in my place. SC
cool this is great Wahoo!
BTW: Will there be Office 2010 Systembuilder packages? I'm sure, this could be an option that is good value for money :-)
