Best and least expensive way to purchase Access 2003

[tom]

Can someone please advise the least expensive way to
get Access 2003. I found a whole range of prices on
the internet. We are currently using Office 97.

TIA

I won't mention the least expensive way . Considering you are 9 years out
off date for Office you could upgrade to Office 2003 Pro (since it is the
one that contains access) or you could wait for Office 2007 Pro (so you
won't be 4 years out of date if you went with 2003) - although with the
differences between Access 2003 and 2007 you may want a copy of 2003.
With standard Office 97 you can't upgrade so the best is non-acedemic
reguluar version. You saw the ranges, I did a quick look and found $145 and
Ebay $137 with 3 hours left.

Probably directly from Microsoft, as an upgrade. From the looks of
their notes on this web page, it looks like your price for Access 2003
would be $109. I haven't ordered this myself, so if you do get it for
this price, it might be good to report that back here.
