Access 2007 Beta, oh crap.

[Lancer]

Just laid down my beta of access 2007 and saddled up one of my existing
apps. Holy cow! Please tell me we can revert to the "classic" view. This
"pay-for-it-once" approach to the gui is killing me.

Anyone got any insight on this thing?

Cheers

As far as I know, there will be no option for "classic view." We've been
told that Access 2007 will not break your existing applications, but I have
not had a machine on which I could load and test the Beta to see exactly
what that means.

Yours is not the only "Holy cow!" (or stronger) response I have heard. But
we've also been told that once we use the new ui for a while, we'll learn to
love it, that it has been thoroughly tested in Microsoft's usability labs.
