Upgrading Office 2003 Small Business to Pro

D

Dusty Gator

I need Access, so bought an Office 2003 Professional upgrade but cannot get
it to recognize the existing Office 2003 Small Business installation. Tried
pointing Setup to C: and then to D: with the original 2003 SB CD inserted. No
joy.

Suggestions?

Office 2003 Professional is not an Upgrade to Small Business 2003 but a
cross-grade which you cannot do. You would need a PREVIOUS version of
Office or one of the listed Works programs to perform an upgrade.

It would appear then that I need to add Access to the existing installation
and forget about upgrading.
