Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Access 2003 gives you a powerful set of tools that are sophisticated enough for professional developers, yet easy for new users to learn. Create powerful database solutions that make organizing, accessing, and sharing information easier than ever.

Features:

• Use compatible file formats: Access 2000 is the default file format for new databases, so Access 2003 can maintain compatibility with existing Access users and solutions.
• Share information more efficiently: export and import data, and link to Windows SharePoint Services sites (requires Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running Windows SharePoint Services).
• Let Access 2003 check for errors: the new error checking feature flags common errors in forms and reports, so you can test and fix errors faster and more easily.
• Incorporate a wide range of data sources: Access 2003 supports data formats such as Extensible Markup Language (XML), OLE, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), and Windows SharePoint Services.

1.0 out of 5 stars Keep Access 2000, April 4, 2004

By	"jomoreynolds" (Decatur, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This software is not worth upgrading. I think Access 2000 is the best database and 2002 is good if you want to use Data Access Pages. Access 2003 has a lot of bugs. I'm having trouble with basic formulas. This is very frustrating.

Be careful, especially if you don't have time to trouble shoot software changes.

Attempted to upgrade from 97 to 2003... bad move... none of my access 97 programs work now... in fact I, I brought home a 2003 access database from work to see if it was an incampatibility problem between the two versions... nope... the upgrade just didn't work.....had to purchase a full version to set things right... save your money on this product...

3.0 out of 5 stars Re : Internet Activation Policy, December 6, 2003

By	Michael (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

To the previous reviewer regarding Internet Activation Policy.
I can tell you that I recently purchased Office 2003 Pro, and I was allowed to activate the product twice. It is stated in the licensing policy that the product may be installed once on a permanent computer, and once more on a portable computer (ie: notebook, tablet etc.). This is exactly what I did. If the second computer was not portable, I don't think they would know this, and therefore you could actually install twice.

Hope this helps.
