Shame there's not a way of searching how to get toolbars back. I think the ribbon was a bad move.

I have been working on Access 2007 and trying to switch between various ribbon 'modes' just slows me right down. I often find myself working under Access 2003 as the access to the designer tools are far quicker, then I switch to A2007 for final testing.

I also think the ribbon is buggy under outlook. for example, if I try and correct a typo by right clicking on it, it will display formatting tools before spelling options. Arrgg.

I know of many companies that are not moving to O2007 due to the loss of the toolbar, and because of the docX / xlsX format compatibility.

Don't even get me started on how many clicks it takes to print something!!!!
