Hi all,

I would like to get and install MS Access on my computer, but don't know exactly what version to use - that being
the full version or an upgraded verion or 95 or 97 or whatever.

I presently have MS Office 97 Standard edition SR-1
(word 97, powerpoint 97, excel 97 and outlook 97)installed on my computer, but have NEVER had Access. Also, I'm running Windows 98.

Which is the appropriate version to install so that
everything works well together?

Any guidance/suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Peace!
 
One thought would be to keep things consistent with respect to your office suite - so based on that reasoning, Access 97 might be a wise choice. Good Luck

Good Point regarding consistancy, however, Access 97 may be hard to purchase now a days.

You can go Access 2000, but I would not recommend Access 2002 (XP).
