apparently we will be getting it later this year to replace what we now use.
lucky you.
why can't they just let me odbc into the database and do my magic directly with access.....nope....gotta run some stupid report, that i still haven't figured out...dump it into excel....and then pull that into access. :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp:

seriously, it sucks.
well, that is kind of what I do already. we backdoored a method of having the tables out in oracle, that we can odbc into access. always the goal is to get it into excel so I can spin it the way I need it.
oh, and we are also changing over to office 2010. I am screwed.
evertime we get a new system, they promise "over 2,000 canned reports that should be more than sufficient" that turn out to be useless and I have to build some back-door reporting that's not supported by IT
