Add MS Access to Small Business Edition 2003?

[Laura]

I got Office Small Business Edition with this computer but just discovered I
need MS Access. Is there a way to add the component to this version without
purchasing a pro upgrade?

Well you can purchase Access on its own, you may qualify for an upgrade
version, depending on your current software (Office SB is not a qualifying
product)

You can buy Access by itself. See
http://www.microsoft.com/Office/Access/howtobuy/default.mspx for pricing
info (US).

Office XP Small Business is a qualifying product so Office 2003 Small
Business *may* be. I'd suggest contacting MS just to make sure.

No, Jo, it isn't. A product of the same line cannot be a qualifying product
for another of that line as that is considered a cross, not an up, grade.

Unless I am wrong, I am seeing that you can use the Upgrade for Small
Business Edition. I am having the same problem.
