Re: Access 2000 Developer Edition?

Flash of memory: Computer's Worth, http://www.computersworth.com/. As I 
said, it's been about 20 years since I did any business with them, but when 
I did, they were seamless transactions transactions when I did (several in 
person at computer swap meets, and one by phone).

But, take a look at 
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/474b62c6-a9f7-404f-84b2-dd0d1ee4aa01/switching-to-access-2010-to-handle-all-versions-of-access-applications?forum=officesetupdeployprevious 
to see if the free-for-the-download Access 2010 runtime will handle your 
Access 2000 databases.  I have some recollection of hearing that the (also 
free for the download) Access 2007 runtime will run some earlier versions, 
but I don't have a reference.  If you can use one of those, it'll certainly 
be the least expensive alternative.
