access 2007 worst yet

Guest

If you cannot come out with a Access interface similar two Access 2002 then
count me out. I will not purchase this joke. Who ever came up with this
managery should be fired. I waited five years for this. this is insane I
could not be more disapoiunted
If somthing works leave it alone. your form inteface suckes. I dont want to
click and scroll to find a query or form or table. There was nothing wrong
with a pop up properties box at least it didnt take up half my screen. what
was wrong with the menus matching what you clicked on. There was hardly
enough working space on the screen before. I don't know what your going to
call this but it is not the Access that I've invested five years of my life
into as a database developer. Damn you've made me mad.

I partly concur, I find the Navigation Pane exactly that. A pain. The old
objects bar as in Access 2000 ~ 2003 much better. By selecting the object
type, you get all of the objects of that type in the database window. This
new way is very clunky if you have lots of objects.
Please Access 12 developers, at least give us the option of changing to the
earlier method.

Long ago I built my own replacement for the db window. Same tabs for Forms,
Reports, etc., but all objects shown in a single vertical list. The big thing I
wanted was the ability to filter the list on a subset of the objects. My naming
convention for objects prefixes them by functional category so I can easily see
all of the objects related to Sales Orders (sls) or Corrective Action (ca).

I have custom buttons for example that refresh the link on the currently
selected table or perform SaveAsText and LoadFromText on a code-based object. I
find it much more useful than the standard window. You could easily build your
own as well.

I agree. I like the old way, so either let us have the option of emulating it
or give us the option of going back to the way it was until we're comfortable
or you give us something we like. (Outlook did this in 2003 when they tried
doing things with the view).

On the property sheet: whatever happened to allowing us to undock the
window, keep it floating (this would emulate the old interface), or allow us
to re-dock it on the bottom, top, or left of the window? Visual studio does
that. They have more 'clunk', but you can copy the concept because it gives
flexibility and choice to the user.

Not everyone can give up 30%$ of their screen to be able to view the
property sheet. In the old versions, you can make it three lines short when
you need it. Please bring this back!

Just drag the sheet off, and it will be un-docked. (place your cursor on the
top bar of the property sheet, you get a set of cross hairs. Now, just click
and drag the sheet off. Most ide's allow this....

The problem was that you could not doc property sheets in previous versions,
and that was a source of annoyance for many people. Now, we have the best of
both worlds. At any rate, you can un-doc those property sheets by simply
drag and drop.....

To re-doc a sheet, drag it to the right side scroll bar....

Albert,

Thanks for the reply. That sort of works. Problem is that the most
convenient place to dock it, (bottom) doesn't seem to work. I'd also give
people the option of docking at the top of the screen. This is more of a
width-needy window for me, so while floating helps, docking at top or bottom
is what I'd be looking for.

Right..got it. However, we could not doc the prop sheets before. So, the new
system allows things as before, or allows docking.

I am not sure how this additional choice makes access 2007 the worst yet,
when you can ignore the new feature, and have as before?

I guess I have to suppose that you wanted docking on the bottom/top, but we
never had that ability. Missing something we never could do hardly makes
a2007 the worst yet.....In fact, we never had any docking ability till now
anyway......

I'm not the originator of the thread. You can't chastise me for what the
thread originator created as the thread topic when we're about 4-5 messages
away from the thread root and I'm down to discussing one specific sub-feature
of a feature just because someone had mentioned it before :)

Well, please accept my apologies. My newsreader MISSED the previous threads.
(and, I like you tend to NOT COPY/repost all of the extra text).

Once again..sorry...
