MS Office 2003

[Crumble]

I currently use Office 97 and want to buy Office 2003 but it no longer
includes MS Access. Will I still be able to use MS Access 97 once I've
installed the new software?

Office 2003 Standard may not include Access, but Office 2003 Professional
does.. you also get Publisher 2003 for the extra money too..

As the others pointed out, you can get Office 2003 Professional. To answer
your question, yes, you can use Access 97 with Office 2003. Will you be
missing a lot of new functionality by not having Access 2003? Sure.

In fact, you could run both Office suites concurrently if you like. Is it
the best idea? Not really. Is it the worst idea? Not really. But you
should install 2003 into a folder other than the default if you plan on
keeping any of your old Office apps.

Do I usually ask myself questions and then answer them? Not so much, no.
