Hi,

The Access 2007 runtime is free to download from Microsoft
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en) and can open/use older database versions.

Well... only partially. You will need to purchase the appropriate "Runtime"
license; there are different way sto do this depending on version. See
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/developereditionfaq.htm for details.

This might be one reason to upgrade to 2007 - the runtime is free. The
Developer's Edition for 2000 (if it's still available at all, that's four
generations back) was pretty pricey.
