Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Office Access 2003 is a database manager, which makes it suitable for storing structured data such as catalogues, stock records or customer lists. Using Office Access 2003, you can also create data entry forms, queries and reports, or complete applications programmed using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). All these elements are saved to a single .MDB file, making it easy to copy and distribute Access database projects.
The popularity of Access is based on several strong features. The interface is clean and uncluttered, and you can open data tables in a familiar spreadsheet-like view. There is a visual query builder, or you can write queries in SQL, the standard database query language. Advanced features let you enforce relational integrity between tables and set validation constraints on fields. There is also an excellent report designer. The Access database engine is not suitable for very large databases, but you can scale up by switching to Microsoft's SQL Server or an ODBC database while still using the same visual tools. New in Office Access 2003 is automatic error-checking in forms, integrated support for transforming data with XSL (an XML standard), and the ability to link to lists in SharePoint Services as a convenient way to share data. A small but welcome detail is control over the font used in the SQL editor, which was fixed at a small size in earlier versions.
This is a capable product and generally a pleasure to use. The main gripe against it is that even Microsoft's wizards do not make relational database applications easy to build. FileMaker is better for non-specialists, but Office Access 2003 wins on Office integration and more comprehensive features. --Tim Anderson

Keep Access 2000
5 April 2004
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.

16 May 2005
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...

Re : Internet Activation Policy
7 Dec 2003
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.
