Is there much of a difference between Access 2002 and Access 2003?

[Rhonda K.]

My company has Access 2002 and upgrading right now is not an option. I would
like to take an Intro to Access 2003 online course through the "community
education" dept. at local community college. Will I be able to follow along
with the 2003 course on the 2002 version or are there too many differences?

The differences between ACCESS 2003 and ACCESS 2002 are very minor. What you
learn in a introductory class for 2003 will be applicable for 2002.

 

[George Nicholson]

Minimal differences.

The addition of sandbox mode/unsafe expressions to security settings is the
biggest difference that comes to mind.

HTH,

Like the others have posted the differences are minor. The big
difference to me is the addition of Smart tags which make your life
easier.
