Hi all 
 
Just read Bugs's troubles with Access on Vista Beta2 
 
I have been developing for some time now and are a little concerned about 
 
Vista. Has anyone else any idea how existing programs and new instalations 
 
of 
 
Access will work with the new MS Vista? 
 
Along with words that strike fear into every developer please find some kind 
 
words like "it will be OK" or "Stop worrying" and "don't you think that 
 
Microsoft will sort all those nasty little bugs out for you!!". Please,,

Almost all new PCs will be shipped with Vista once it becomes 
 
available.  So I don't see how MS can make it a disaster.

Someone is encountering problems in a Beta? This is not news! There are 
 
*supposed* to be problems with Betas. That's what Betas are for, to find the 
 
problems. If there weren't any problems, there wouldn't be any need for 
 
Betas. 
 
No, Microsoft will not fix all the bugs in Vista. They didn't fix all the 
 
bugs in Windows XP, or Windows 2000, or Windows NT, or Windows 9.x, or ... 
 
well, I'm sure you get the picture. The world did not come to an end when 
 
any of those operating systems were released. It probably won't come to an 
 
end with the release of Vista, either. 
 
Words that strike fear into every developer? You're kidding, right? Didn't 
 
you know that developers know no fear? :-)

Thank you gentlemen. That's a great help. 
 
I have a young 21 year old in the family who works for an organisation in 
 
the high end of IT instalation and consultancy. He is convinced that the 
 
world will end when MS launch Vista. Is it common for consultants to 
 
frighten the pants off  everyone. I'm sure it cannot be in their interest to 
 
have lots of customers contacting them for advice about the latest 
 
apocalypse,,,,,,,,,,, can it?

My understanding is that Vista has been delayed. 
 
PRESUMABLY they're working on it. 
 
SP-0 of the product, that is. 
 
Howzat? <grin> 
 
Oh alright. Stop worrying. There's no extra charge for the bugs.

And I have a 54yr-old cynical twin brother who looks just like me...I only 
 
post on his behalf <vbg> 
 
Seriously now, 
 
I discourage anything without an SP number, because the first users are guinea 
 
pigs. Lemmings. Moles and Earthworms and other blind things. Of course, one 
 
can't stop customers buying latest Windows, though one can control (say) 
 
Access Runtime version (this is a toolkit newsgroup). 
 
I believe it's common for consultants to be wary of brand-new software. Just 
 
look at Access95, which was the first 32-bit Access. 
 
Where did you read the bug troubles? If it was on MS site or likely to be 
 
brought to their attention, then they must be working on it. If you're 
 
participating in a beta, shouldn't you be notifying them? To me, existing 
 
Access s/w either works or doesn't on Vista, and I don't intend to find out 
 
before necessary. By that time, hopefully there'll be a bunch of Lemmings in 
 
the newsgroups who can give us the benefit of their experience. !!!
