I think I'll pass on that. If I were to pay for every software bug I hit -- in third party as well as MS -- I'd need a lot bigger revenue stream just to break even. Anyway, we developed a workaround for the symptom -- that is the bug still affects the flow but we are able to complete the process. changliw(a)online.microsoft.com ("Charles Wang [MSFT]") wrote: >Hi Stewart, >According to the current information, it is hard to give a reason why this >issue happened at some of your computers but worked on other computers with >the same Access 2007 runtime components.

From: "Charles Wang [MSFT]" on 22 Nov 2009 21:42 Hi Stewart, For contacting CSS, if this issue is proved to be a product issue, you will not be charged at last. Anyway I am glad to hear that you have found a workaround by yourself. Best regards, Charles Wang

The problem with CSS is that you are charged first and then, IF CSS completes problem determination AND decides it is a bug you get a refund. Meanwhile they have your money for as long as it takes for them to get to the problem and forever if they can't do problem determination. I wonder how much is earned on the float. Yes, I have a workaround but the bug will probably bite a number of people and might take a few out. Hopefully, someone will hit it in the 2010 beta. changliw(a)online.microsoft.com ("Charles Wang [MSFT]") wrote: >Hi Stewart, >For contacting CSS, if this issue is proved to be a product issue, you will >not be charged at last.
