[AccessD] Advice Please

Hey Charlotte and Jim
Sorry, failure to communicate. I had mentioned to a friend that I had 
priced VS and it was about $1000 CDN and he said he just bought the 
Access Extensions and it was lot cheaper, he must have meant Visual 
Studio Tools for Microsoft Office.  Around $395 I can justify, the $1000 
"threw me".

Thanks Charlotte, John and Jim for setting me straight.
My shopping list
New machine
Office 2003
Windows XP Pro
Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Office (thanks for the link Jim)
I guess I will finally get a look at .NET.
