Need to purchase copy/upgrade to Office 2007 and would prefer to do so from a forum member!

If you're looking for personal use, some Tesco stores have Office 2007 Home & Student at about £49 inc VAT.......

[kathynewman]

Thanks Mark - looked at that but that version doesn't have Access included which we need.

[fergusw]

Kathy, Which version are you upgrading to Office Pro from?

[kathynewman]

This chap (http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/01/28/itac_case/)won't be for a while.

Silly question probably, but you would trust Base for use with the Actinic Database (adding tables, report, queries etc)? I have no knowledge of it, but would be delighted if we could replace our Microsoft products with Openoffice for this purpose. Seems too good to be true.

[gabrielcrowe]

not only do i trust it, but its all i use.

its a matter of taste.

oh, btw: dont use openoffice 3 on mac, its awful.

[Mark H]

Thanks Gabe - we'll have a look at it. The Microsoft product has far more gadgets and features than we will ever use, and as long as Base opens, modifies and saves the Actinic database without blowing everything up we'll be happy........
