Without more information, there isn't much use talking. I wasn't one of the folks who swooned for InfoPath, but at least the separation of that product from the more ordinary suite is just about product removal, and a new product at that. Even for those of us who have been playing with the beta, it's harder to tell what this means: ------------------------------------ Professional-level functionality includes additional solution capabilities requested by customers, such as Information Rights Management (IRM)[1] content creation and authoring, support for Customer-defined XML[2], and Excel List Control.[3] [2] Customer-defined XML schema: A schema is a set of rules, typically written as a file in the XSD language that describes the structure that an XML document is required to follow. With customer-defined XML schemas, customers can choose which schema is most appropriate to their data, project, organization or industry and apply it to their documents or create solutions based on those documents. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/newsroom/office/factsheet/OfficeSKUFS .asp ---------------------------------------- Everyone's talking about Word, but that's pretty general - it seems unlikely that Microsoft means this beyond Word, but Excel and even Access have features like that. As I said, without details there's little point in the conversation, so I'll shut up now. :-) -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com -- http://monasticxml.org
