What version should I get?

R

R. Derek Pattison

Currently, I have Office 2000 Small Business Edition. I am going to have to
purchase Access for a new project I'm doing, so I want to know what
version/bundle of Office I should get, or should I just get Access by itself?

Here are the requirements I have:

- The database was made in Access 2002.
- It would be nice if I could also get newer versions of Word and Excel,
which I use a lot, but not absolutely neccessary. I don't use the Outlook or
Publisher in the current version of Office I have.
- I'm self-employed, so I need to keep costs low. :)
- I need to use the program on two computers -- my desktop and laptop.

Any advice would be quite welcome.

Thanks!

You might consider a single copy of Access 2003 as an upgrade to what you
have now, and a subscription to the Microsoft Action Pack. The Action Pack
license and software cost $299 and must be renewed every year, but if you're
a small business it is an outstanding value. Have a look at the website for
everything that comes with it:
