Microsoft Office and Podcasting

At work on Thursday, we installed Service Pack 3 for Microsoft Access. For you non-techies, a Service Pack is an accumulation of patches since the last Service Pack. (patches are quick error or security fixes). So, we grabbed the SP from Microsoft, installed it on all twenty or so computers in the office and waited for disaster. This one turned out to be a real pain. For Microsoft Access format 2000 forms, the check boxes no longer respond to mouse clicks - only the space bar. To fix the problem, you have to create a new Access 2007 form (which works fine). Apparently, Microsoft is aware of the problem and will be issuing a Patch soon.

Hey Peter, if it makes you feel any better, I've never listened to a Podcast in my life :)
