Looking quickly in VS2010, there's nothing specially for Access for VSTO, as was the case since inception of VSTO. VSTO support has been pretty much limited to Excel, Outlook, Word and maybe Powerpoint. This is not to say you can't use .Net at all -- it is possible to write a DLL that Access can then consume but you have to write for COM interoperability which I would think require quite well grounded understanding of boht .NET and COM worlds. You also could still write a Shared Add-In, which Access (and any other Microsoft Office) can consume and the template at least get you set up quickly. There are also more ways to get Access work with .NET but it's same bottom line - requires a good amount of effort and understanding.

No need to apologize... I loved 'em, Albert. I was just trying to work out in my mind, though, how I'd "right click on a Redmond". <GRIN> |
