What the heck is Microsoft Access?
Answer: Microsoft Access is one of the most stable, powerful and widely-used
database products in the world. We selected this software to be the backbone of our application because it
delivers power and ease of use and, since it is a Microsoft product, it is 100% compatible with all Windows operating systems.
How do you know if you have Microsoft Access installed?
Answer: Generally if you go to the "Start" menu and look for other
Microsoft products such as Word and Excel, Access will be listed next to them. Many computers running XP have
a sub-menu for "Microsoft applications" and if Access is installed it will be listed there next to a little
icon which looks like a key inside of a square.
Also if you download the trial, unzip and then get a message when you try to open it which reads "An application
cannot be found to open this file" then you don't have Microsoft Access.
