Are you leveraging Office 2003 in your solutions? Let me know especially if you resell your solutions

Office 2003 provides a number of features that developers can leverage when building applications. With Visual Studio Tools for Office, Information Bridge Framework (IBF), Office Research Services, XML support in Access, Word and Excel, Smart Documents and Infopath amongst others, there is vast opportunity for developers to leverage Office in a solution
This article provides more information

If you are an software vendor that builds solutions typically for resell we would be very interested in hearing from you if you either (1) have already built something that leverages Office 2003 or (2) see some potential and intend to develop and application using these technologies.
We might even showcase your solution. And while on the topic if you are an ISV be sure to attend ISV Community Days. See here for more information.
And if you are a developer interested in Office as a development platform be sure to attend MSDN Essentials. Check http://dotnet.org.za/ahmeds/archive/2005/02/10/14314.aspx for the details

Just a quick question, I think it's Microsoft Canada that then actually funds the proposed Office2k3 development? Any chance of that working the same here :P

We have just embarked on a six month nationwide project using Access 2003 with SQL MSDE as the back end. We are pretty stuck in the old way of programming Access so I am not sure how we can leverage some of those features you mention. I'm a bit cautious of it becuase we will not be rolling out full Office 2003 , just the Access runtime, so I am sure not all of the features will be available with just the runtime.
