      Sorry, Andy. You can't download a free copy of Access, but Microsoft offers
      a free 30-day trial edition kit of Microsoft Office Professional 2003 (S&H
      $7.95), which contains Microsoft Office Access 2003. You can find the link
      to Microsoft's Web page where you may order this CD kit, as well as many
      other links for Microsoft's and other software vendors' free developers
      tools here:



      You'll find links to many other free resources (compilers, source code,
      samples, et cetera) for Access and VB developers on this Web page, too.

      HTH.

        No free downloads; even the initial version is still protected by copyright
        for a long, long time. However, you can often find inexpensive, legal copies
        of back versions at the online auction sites, and sometimes, current
        versions for less than the "deep discount" software vendors.

        On the other hand, if you can find someone who has a licensed copy of an
        earlier version that they did not use to qualify for an upgrade, and they
        aren't using it, maybe they would give it to you. I have done that, on
        occasion, for friends, with some graphics software that I no longer had a
        need for.
