Daniel Johnson, Jr.

This post is one of the more esoteric ones where I delve into the geeky details of some of my programming work. I know – it’s really sexy, isn’t it?

I have mentioned the bridge application I developed that helps make payrolls run faster, helping client employees get paid faster, and so forth, using Microsoft Access 2003 with VBA, ADO, Excel, Office, etc.

Some members of the company are starting to migrate to Office 2007, and we can see the entire organization moving there soon. A few weeks ago, I tried opening and running one of the bridge applications in Access 2007, and it bombed horribly, specifically in how I’ve written it to use the Office 11 FileSearch object.

I just found a couple of few documents on MSDN and TechNet that I hope will help understand what is involved in the migration:

• Transitioning Your Existing Access Applications to Access 2007
• Migration Considerations for Access 2007
• Changes in Access 2007
• Office 2007 Object Model Reference
• Migrating a VBA Solution to a Visual Studio Tools for Office Add-In

Okay, to be honest, I picked that last item because it sounds interesting.
