Well, here's what I'm doing. This (My Daily Bread) computer is staying at 8.1. I have several magical warding programs to ensure this is so.
I am the same way with 7. I wish I were still with XP. "Upgrades" can be such a losing proposition.
I just some work for a company I did work for years ago. The accounting computer got "upgraded" to Windows 7. This partially broke their Access 97 Order Entry app. The accounting lady is not pleased.
Specifically, a delete with a subquery now throws an undocumented error -1601. In case line wrapping messes it, that is negative 1601. This is not the exact query, but it is the form that fails: delete from InvoiceHeader where InvoiceId in (select InvoiceId from HistoricalInvoiceHeader) The intent is to delete anything in the current invoice table that is in the historical.
An Access GUI delete query that maps to a delete with a subquery also fails in the same way.
If you have any idea what to do about this, please let me know.
My older boot-disk-fail-on-startup Win 7 computer will get a new SSD drive and will then go to Win X.
My recently late Mom's laptop will become my "Let's Try Linux!" computer.
My recently late Mom also had a laptop. I do not know what I am going to do with it.
