Catherine, Another consideration is the software that Microsoft makes available to not-for-profit organizations. Microsoft is the primary financial backer of NPower, which has offices in several cities. The cost is negligible for a not-for-profit to become an NPower member. The benefits of membership include greatly reduced fees for software training at most training facilities (usually $50 per day of training) and FREE software from Microsoft. NPower members are eligible for most Microsoft software at no charge--including operating systems, server software (SQL, Exchange, etc.) and Office. Even if you do not upgrade the Access application at this time, it might be worthwhile to see if your client is eligible to join NPower because of the other benefits.
