Just installed the upgrade from Professional 2000 to Professional 2007.
Am not happy with the results.
1st: Could have sworn I read on one of these MS Office newsgroup that an
upgrade would only upgrade programs of Office already installed from
2000 and leave the 2000 programs that were not included with 2007 alone
- wrong. Specifically I wanted the Short-Cut bar from 2000 to remain.
The short-cut bar is no more. On installing 2007 upgrade, I selected the
"Upgrade" option. Should I have selected the "Custom" option?
2nd: 2007 Access will not open any of my 2000 Access databases!! When
opening alllll of them up pops error messages at the switchboard not
allowing me into any of the databases:
"The expression on click you entered as the event property setting
produced the following error:
The expression you entered has a function name that Microsoft Office
Access can't find.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a
user-defined function of [Event Procedure].
*........ "
Nowwwww this doesn't just happen with my databases but also an Access
2000 sample databases that Microsoft has online for downloading that
presumable should work with 2007 Access for included in the list of
databases/etc... For example:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010186491033.aspx?CategoryID=CT101172541033
This downloads the file: 01018649.cab > 1018649.mdb Home Inventory database.
On trying to access this inventory database the ***same error***
messages pop up. This is a real downer. If 2000 Access databases are
incompatible with 2007 Access then 2007 Access is useless.
3rd: Dislike the display color/theme of the 2007 programs. I have found
how to change the color in some of the programs, but do not like the
buttons, layout, etc...
I'm on the verge of reverting back to Office 2000, especially if I can't
get Access 2007 to work on Access 2000 databases. If I decide to, will
just uninstalling 2007 via Add/Remove and then reinstalling 2000 work?
By doing it this way, will it deactivate 2007 allowing me possibly to
install it later on 2 other computers.
TIA.
