William, So what's wrong with a mix-and-match approach? It's my mantra: use the best tool for the job. If you find the tools included with StarOffice to be adequate, but still want to use Access, then do so. Last I checked, you could still by each of the Office products seperately. You can even save a few bucks. SRP MS Office XP Pro: $579 SRP MS Access 2002: $339 SRP StarOffice 6.0: $75.95 Price Savings: $164.05 Which should almost be enough to buy yourself a copy of WordPerfect (upgrade) to go with it. :) Buy all three, collect the full set! :) Seth On Thu, 2003-04-10 at 06:43, William Hindman wrote: > ...hhhmmm ...have not checked today gustav but iirc it was Starbase that was > pulled and Adabas D that was added ...at least that's what I recall when I > looked at the specs for 6 ...I've not tried 6 myself because I'm not > interested in any office replacement suite without an Access comparable db > development capability :( > > William Hindman -- Seth Galitzer sgsax at ksu.edu Computing Specialist http://puma.agron.ksu.edu/~sgsax Dept. of Plant Pathology Kansas State University
