The easiest way to get what you want is to obtain a copy of either Office
2000 Developer or Office XP Developer as the Access runtime is basically the
same for either version.
I'm not sure if there's a Developer version of Access 2003, or if it comes
as part of the package, maybe one of the other regular posters could
enlighten us.
It will be difficult to get hold of the XP developer, and almost impossible
to get hold of the 2000 developer new from a software retailer. You may need
to do some hunting around on places like E-bay to see if you can get what you
want.
Another possible solution is to develop a front end using something like
VB.Net, but you will obviously need to obtain the programming environment for
that, although the advantages of the .Net framework being free are plus
factor.
