ACCESS Trial

[Guest]

Is there anyway to get an Access 2002 or 2003 trial download or CD? I
already purchased Office Student/Teacher Edition 2003 a year ago, and have
never had any need for access, but I need it for one time only for an IS 101
assignment due on April 4th. (I can't use my campus' computers because I'm
an web-based student this semester, 1,000 miles away) I was going to order
the trial CD, but it's temporarily unavailable. Does anyone know of a
really, really cheap place to get Access, or if the download will be
available soon? I really don't want to spend $169 at AcademicSuperstore.com
for Office professional, just to use Access once! I will never have a need
for it again, nor will I need publisher, and since I have the other products,
it just seems too expensive to justify.

Thanks,
JM

If you've already got Office 2003, there's no reason to buy Office
Professional just to get Access: you should be able to buy Access 2003 by
itself.

As far as I know, though, you can't get a free trial of either Office
Professional nor Access.

Is Access cheaper than $200? That's what I found, out of my budget of $0,
so the $169 dollar suite was looking slightly better as a last resort.

I'm not sure that Student/Teacher owners qualify for version/competitive
upgrade offers. Make sure that $169 suite isn't an upgrade version (at that
price, I doubt it's a full version). Double check whether you'd be able to
use it.

The Student/Teacher edition doesn't qualify for upgrades.
