??? for Stephen Lebans about A2KSHTML and IE7

[nospamhere]

Hello Stephen and all,

This is such a cool group. I really need to spend more time here.

A few months ago I noticed some brief discussion here about the fact
that your excellent HTML Editor for Access is not yet compatible with
IE7. At that time, you correctly pointed out that IE7 was still in
beta status and that you would not consider any update to A2KSHTML
until after IE7 was officially released. Obviously, that was the only
sensible response to the issue at the time.

Now that IE7 HAS been released to the public, I wonder if you've
thought about what it will take to make your HTML editor operate
correctly on a computer that has IE7 installed.

My group has an Access 2003 application that is widely used in North
America. It has included your HTML Editor for a long time and it has
always worked fine with IE6. However, as soon as the user
"upgrades" to IE 7 and then tries to load your HTML Editor in the
Access 2003 app, the entire application just shuts down!

Unfortunately, we have now developed a bad case of "Lebans dependency"
:-)' Would you please take mercy on us little mortals and let us
know if and when you plan to make A2KSHTML compatible with IE7?

Thanks again for all you awesome contributions.

Hi Tom. I'm not sure what you mean by the above statement. Would you
be kind enough to elaborate?

Well, it was half tongue-in-cheek.
Stephen has generously made this and lots of other code available for
free. The caveat: it's "as is". Your note could be read as trying to
apply some pressure to get a new version with support for IE7. After
all, who would want a widely used app to come to a screetching halt?
Certainly not that good soul from Moncton, Canada.
So I came up with the suggestion to add Stephen to your Christmas list
as an incentive to work on the upgrade. Of course you could hire him
out-right as well.

Of course. If compensation will help get it fixed then I need to
speak directly with SL. Frankly, I don't understand why he posts code
at all without SOME kind of value in return.

In reality, it's not quite the crisis it may have seemed from my
original post. I only mentioned it because he did say or at least
suggest that he WOULD consider modifying it once IE7 was out.
If we must, we'll find another source. But I'd rather get it from SL,
paid for or otherwise. Since he says not to contact him any other way
but this news group, here I am.

Merry Christmas!

Stephen is "otherwise occupied" for a few days and has been without regular
newsgroup access. I'm sure he'll be back online before too awfully long.

That's perfectly OK. Thanks for the heads up Larry.

Hi, Tim.

Another . . . posting under various pseudonyms and demanding support from
people who generously provide code FOR FREE.

"Another"? It's Lauren Wilson again. She's doing a better job of covering
her tracks, but old habits die hard and she still exhibits the same habits,
so you can easily tell it's her.

HTH.
