The differences between Access 2003 and 2007

[Flo Saforo]

Hello all!

I temp and have to keep current on the latest version of Microsoft Office,
most companies haven't upgraded to Office 2007 yet, can someone out there
tell me what has changed/updated in the 2007 version of Access.

I am in the process of purchasing a book on Access for reference and to
update my current skills, would the 2003 be sufficient enough?

As always, thanks,

Well it's still named "Access". Just about everything else is different.

I'm exaggerating of course, but honestly if a person familiar with older
Access versions is shown the 2007 version for the first time they would
not think it's the same program. It is *radically* different in terms of
the interface and the re-learning curve is pretty steep.
