Douglas:

FYI:
VSTO is part of MSDN Pro & Entererprise *but* the Access Developer
Extensions are not included with this VSTO like they are in the stand-alone
VSTO.

Through MSDN, ADE is only available at Universal level.

The stand-alone VSTO box includes both VSTO and the ADE.

Way too confusing. Who at MS thought naming a subset of tools (VSTO) the
same thing as a bundled package that wouldn't stay bundled was a good idea??
