Hi,

I have a question.

why do we need to order MS Access application when the user request it in the company?

Suppose one user buy MS Access application, then we can install the other workstation, right. But, everytime, we need to order MS Access for that user account/workstation.

In contrast, ms word, ms excel, powerpoint, we don't need to order it, every workstation must have them, except ms access.

Can anybody response me why we need to order ms access for each user account/workstation?

Thanks.
 
But it comes with office. Maybe it's not installed by default?
 
It depends on the version of Office that you have. Standard versions of Office do not include Access.

And also, everytime when we order it, we need to pay fees.

Why do we need to pay the fees?
 
I keep ordering PC's from Dell. They keep charging me for each one. Why is that? Shouldn't I be able to pay for one and then get as many as I need?
 
Or, if I go get a dollar from the bank, why can't I just copy it every time I need another one?
 
When ordering, stipulate that the office version must have Access. If they dont want to come to the party, tell them you will be looking for another supplier
 
How about investigating Volume Licensing with Microsoft for the version of Office you need (Professional)?
 
when you buy Access you only buy it for 1 user - you don't own the software in it's entirety - youa re allowed to use it once

If you buy a record you are allowed to play it but not make copies or lend it to others to make copies - Now you can buy licenese for Access say 5 licenses and this works out a percentage cheaper - but remember to are buying 5 times 1 users of this product, i don't think that MS offer and unlimited licenese and if they did it would be blooming expensive

when ordering office make sure its the professional version (this has Access within it)

also do you need the most currenct version of Office/Access you can shop around for an older versions say 2000 or 2003 and the prices of these will be considerable lower than the latest office products, 2000 seems to be reasonable robust - have not played with 2003 - this you would need to look into with more detail - maybe one of the guys on the form can give some insight as to the benefits of say Office pro2003 against 2003 and 2007

if you looking around at this anybody who works for MS will be bias towards that latest version - you need to check independenet sources

My presonal prefernce is 2000 mainly on look and functionallity
I have no idea on Access version above this though
