Ms Access 2007

[Want-to-know]

I have Windows 7 plus Office Home and Student 2007. However, this does not contain Access. My previous edition of Ms Office also did not contain Access.

I know that Microsoft use to allow you to test drive Ms Office 2007 but that this is no longer available.

Do you know of any free website where one can test drive Ms Access 2007.

Thanks.

you can download a trial of office professional 2010 that would include access.

You need a windows live login to download it.

Thank you. I will give it a go.

Chuck,

I recall their was a sort of imitation Microsoft Office that was run by Sun Microsystems or Java or something similar. I cannot recall, though, if it had a database on it. Would you happen to know if it did, if it can be downloaded on Windows 7 and the link? I need to brush up on databases for an interview.

Thanks very much.

Thanks Chuck. Have a job interview tomorrow and need to bone up on databases.

Even I don't get so excited about databases that I bone up!!

Good luck with the interview, but remember the openoffice base and access are very different tools despite the fact they do the same job.

Thanks Chuck. I realise this, but I seem to have mislaid a training disc I had that showed Access on it and gave basic and intermediate lessons. It was 2003 Access I think. The downloading is the best I can do at this stage.
