| SSW Update - Do you use appropriate and user-friendly icons? |
[ the cutting edge ]G'Day Developers! Some developers don't notice the difference between a Windows 2000 and a Windows XP look. All through Windows XP you will see a variety of icons used to represent the information they are related to, and to make the interface more interesting and appealing. So whether you are developing a Windows Form or an Outlook Form or an Access Form, be aware of the importance of icons. 
See some before and after examples of how we used icons to vastly improve an old and stuffy Access UI. To see more rules like this, go to the SSW Rules page. Cheers until next time,

SharePoint 2007 and Access 2007 have had an enormous amount of work done in this version and they work together beautifully.
SharePoint 2007 to many is a web version of Access. Come see Adam Cogan show you how you have a lot of options including:
- Using SharePoint data in your Access solution
- Using Access to report on your SharePoint data
- Upsizing your access data to SharePoint and then continue with Access as the front-end
- Upsizing your entire Access solution to SharePoint and then finish using Access as your platform
In addition we will look at using SharePoint data in other Office applications.
