access vs works

[michigan]

are there any essential differences between access 2003 and works 7 database?
i am doing a college course that includes database/access and on a students
income i don't want to purchase access 2003. i have windows xp and office
2003 student/ teacher, therefore i don't have access but i do have works 7.0.
kind regards

Unfortunately, they are night and day in terms of differences. ms-access is
full database development tool. You can use ms-access to develop commercial
grade quality applications. Works is a data manager, but noting remote close
to ms-access.

If are taking a course, you absolute need ms-access. I believe some student
editions of ms-access should only be about $100. Check at the college book
store etc, but they do generally have discounted prices for this stuff...

your comment will i am sure be treated with the total contempt it deserves, a
little constructive advice would have been appreciated. if you don't
understand some of the words i have used then maybe you should ask your
muummy to explain, or of course wait until you grow up a little.

use SQL Express. and VB.net express.
Access is obsolete; no point in learning it now.

ms access isn't a full database development tool

Access ADP _IS_ a full database development tool
