Re: Simplify it for me please...
said by dave  :You might be better off asking this question over in the Security forum, though. I agree, but I was hoping the OP would tell me what HE uses as I want to hear from actual users who are not XP haters.
I wonder how Access 2000 would run under Crossover Office. Maybe I won't have to run Windows? Then again there is the 'right tool for the job' thing... and I have a dual boot box.. but have not booted to XP for 2 years... and never while connected to the router.

Al I actually just gave Office XP a shot with crossover office and it runs great. There are some issues, like getting excel charts into word documents and having them appear correctly. I don't really use Access but I did try running it and it seemed to work without a hitch.
Heh, I think installing windows programs with crossover office is easier then installing them natively in windows. You don't have to reboot and the whole thing is so automated. It works great. |

| said by alien9999999 :if you're getting appearence issues, then why not using openoffice (or staroffice)...? Well openoffice 2.0 crashes randomly, left on its own. I won't even be doing anything and it just closes. Staroffice, well, that would cost some money on my part and I'm not guaranteed it might be free of the same issue OO has. So running Microsoft office allows me to at least be able to perform most of the functions I need to do on a regular basis, and when necessary to put together an intense word document with embedded charts and such I'll boot into windows. |
