Access 2007 Developer

ARC
Hello,

A user posted a reply to a post of mine regarding the fact that Access 2007
would be free, or maybe I misunderstood? All I could find on Microsoft's
site was information regarding the Access 2007 developer extensions and the
runtime being a free download. But what about the full Access 2007 install?
Surely that is not free? I couldn't find info on this. Possibly someone can
clear this up?

Many Thanks in advance,

Access 2007 you must pay for. Access 2007 Developers Edition is free and will be
available in a few week for download.

You need a copy of access 2007. (so, I guess office 2007 then). What version
(pro, or otherwise) never did matter for the developers edition. the
developers edition never changed the ms-access part, but just enabled to
build a runtime.

So, basically you can purchase the full version of ms-access (about $219),
or you can purchase a upgrade from previous versions ($109).

So, if you have a older version of access sitting around (2000-2003), you
can use that for upgrading to a2007.

In theory, for about $100, you get the full pop developers edition now that
the developer system will be free.

This is a rather sweet affordable deal, and you sure get a lot for that
$109...

Sounds like I can save some bucks and just get Access 2007 then... That is a
sweet deal. Actually it might be better to keep the older versions of Excel
and Outlook, might be good for testing to ensure that my software will work
with older versions of Excel, etc.

Thanks for the reply,

Late binding will solve a lot of those problems.

Late binding means you can safely remove the reference and only have an error when
the app executes lines of code in question. Rather than erroring out while starting
up the app and not allowing the users in the app at all. Or when hitting a mid, left
or trim function call.

You'll want to install the reference if you are programming or debugging and want to
use the object intellisense while in the VBA editor. Then,. once your app is
running smoothly, remove the reference and setup the late binding statements.

Sample code:
' Declare an object variable to hold the object
' reference. Dim as Object causes late binding.
Dim objWordDoc As Object
Set objWordDoc = CreateObject(" Word.Document")

For more information including additional text and some detailed links see the "Late
Binding in Microsoft Access" page at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/latebinding.htm

Most of my projects are developed in Access 2003. I have not even installed Office 2007 yet! I need to buy VSTO to get the run-time licence for Access 2003. No doubt I will soon need a run-time licence for Access 2007. Is there a version of VSTO that has the Access run-time licence for both version of Access? Or will I need to buy VSTO 2003 now and then VSTO 2007 at a later date? Thanks,

Why the heck was this dropped? All my dbs use ULS even the complex ones. It aint perfect, it's too fiddly, but it works. How will I be able to say "These users can run these reports and these users can't." in Access 2007? Will I have to create my own tables (tblSecurityGroups, tblSecurityUsers) and code the whole thing? Thanks, Paul

Hi, I understand that the runtime will be free with access 2007. I wonder about the following scenario: A user will have the full version of access 2003 installed (or an earlier version). A developer will offer an acess 2007 application, and suggest to the user to download and install the runtime for access 2007. If the user were to do so, will that interfere with her access 2003

Hi !! I'm about to develop a new project for a client. Should I go about it in Access 2003 or 2007 ? Purchasing it either for me or for my client is not a major consideration here ... what I'd like to know is the stability, speed & ease of use of both the products. I believe Access 2007 has a new file format too and that it may be slower.
