Yes, indeed, it’s that time when Microsoft turns its back on Office 2007! Not only do they turn their backs on it, but they try and erase any evidence of its existence (as if it were a crime! LOL!) by going to such lengths as to remove all associated downloads, help files & article, support information, … from the Microsoft ecosystem (see below for more details).
As an FYI, I’m passing along the info that was just provided to me by the Access Dev Team
As I’m sure you are all aware, Office 2007 is approaching end of extended support.
This is a heads up that the following Access components that are available as standalone downloads only, share the same lifecycle:
- Access 2007 runtime – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4438
- Office Data Connectivity Components (aka ACE) – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734&40ddd5bd-f9e7-49a6-3526-f86656931a02=True&a03ffa40-ca8b-4f73-0358-c191d75a7468=True&751be11f-ede8-5a0c-058c-2ee190a24fa6=True
- ADE – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24569 (includes the packaging wizard, source code control, and the save as template functionality)
Along with other Office 2007 products, their support will end soon and they will not be available to download anymore.
You can consult Office 2007 approaching end of extended support, but to summarize, end of extended support is/was 2017/10/10, so yesterday!
So if any of the above is of any importance to you or your customers, be sure to visit the download site and grab a copy ASAP before it is gone forever!
