| Internet Explorer 7 RSS
Feeds |
| By the time many of the readers open
this newsletter, you will have upgraded to Internet Explorer 7. If you
have, you will probably have come to the conclusion that the new semi
transparent look is nice and multi-tabs are an interesting new feature.
For me the improvements are not life changing and somethings like
closing individual tabs and menu locations are confusing. But there is
one really good thing, RSS feeds like the one used by this magazine are
easy to read, easy and anonymous to sign up for and easy to find again
in the IE7 interface. To see the RSS feed that this newsletter is based on, copy the following line into the address bar of IE7. http://www.vb123.com/news/rss1.xml We are adding new items to the RSS feed every day so rather than waiting for the newsletter every month or so, get into our RSS feed. |

CONTRACT WORK |
| I am looking to talk to very competent
Access developers (2 years+ experience) to help us with our projects in
Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne. If you have your own company, even
better. I am interested in people who can walk into a client's office,
talk specifications, build good data models, sort out messy Access
applications and keep the users happy. This is not full time work and
may only amount to a single project or two a year. If this is you,
contact me by email using the address at the top of this page

MS's Access 2007 Blog - Read a bit about Sharepoint and Access 2007.
|
| All the latest discussions of what you
will find in Access 2007. This post refers to SharePoint designer in
Access 2007. Of particular interest is all the comments.. Editorial comment by Garry "Please note that by design, Access 2007 is aimed at a lower end audience. As a consequence, power programmers are not going to be happy with progress in 2007 as very little was aimed at that end of the market. Anyway it matters little to me because Access will still be a good tool for solving business problems for small to medium teams of users." |

reduces the cost of exercise. The system is setup so that your data is

new capability, making managed add-ins (that is, add-ins that run code
created by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, written in either
Microsoft Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual C#) both possible and
relatively easy to create. Now you can use professional tools for
creating managed applications, and incorporate the rich and powerful
functionality of the Microsoft .NET Framework. |
