Access cloning Filemaker?

Hi! - and surely we can forgo a huge debate on this thread...<br>I - on the other hand - and here's my two bob's worth - find Office<br>2007 a delight to work with. Some changes take some getting used to;<br>creating headers/footers is more 'optioned' and clumsy, and Access
<br>feels like it's attempting to clone filemaker, but overall it's a<br>great package. And, we can always save/share in the older program formats.<br>But...I will reserve judgement on Vista until after the impending
<br>release of service pack 1.<br>Cheers<br>RA<br><br><br>At 12:07 PM 9/08/2007, you wrote:<br>>I spent a period with the new Office 2007. And whilst there are some<br>>pretty nifty features, it is so dramatically different to the current
