- When you have an Access 2003 Runtime installed (only) + using Office 2007, Windows Updates recommends (aka gives end users grief) patching Word 2003 etc (which they don’t even have).
PS: Times like this I wish Access was not tied in with Office.
File Explorer needs to open the correct version of Access every time
Currently, it opens the last version of Access that was opened! This is not a solution.
It gets worse when the user has Access 2007 installed + Access 2003 Runtime version. After using the runtime, double clicking on an .MDB makes it try to open a 2007 version in 2003.
Access 2003 Runtime and changing References
When you delete a reference it actually doesn’t release the reference. You can see the reference is still there when you loop through the references in VBA.
The problem is Access crashes happen after this (this is not consistent and we are fairly sure this is the issue).
Access 2003 Runtime and the Commandbars
When the user moves the location of the commandbar (aka Toolbar), the location is not saved when in runtime mode.
This is a bug.
Note: Access 2007 solves this by using a ribbon and the user cannot move them
Help me easily search by URL History
How did I miss this, 2 words and I have found the URL?
What a quick way to find a URL.
Figure: IE need a better address bar like this
Add a note on deleted record
When you add a contact and it is the same name, then it offers to merge the contacts (and if you say ‘yes’ it deletes it). Can you please add a note on the deleted record “This record was deleted by the Contact Merge Tool”.
Figure: Contacts with the same name
Figure: Contacts details
Help me save my option on the download file dialog
Does the below dialog annoy everyone?
Figure: Want to show a image but popup a download dialog
Search – Add “Type” to the “Criteria” combo
Make it easy to find all the appointments in your inbox (that you have not accepted or declined).
Eg. I want to say something like “Type: Calendar” or “Type: Appointment” however neither one works.
Figure: Add option “Type” to allow you to find appointments
Figure: Search help needs a list of all options you can manually type (that is not in the “Criteria” dropdown)
OWA 2007 need add Refresh Option
OWA 2007 should add a Refresh button on the right click menu:
Figure: Need add Refresh button on the menu
OWA 2007 should supports FormatBrush
OWA 2007 should add a FormatBrush button to copy the format from one place to other places, which also make it consistent with Outlook like other buttons.
