I have Office xp Small Business Version 2002. I thought it was only partially installed since I didn't have Microsoft Access on my computer. I went to add/remove and told it to change but Access doesn't come up there. Does that mean I do NOT have Access with this? I really need that program or something like it...something that will be fairly easy for me to learn. Thanks

pop in the product CD and start the installer. Usually, it will recognize that there
is an install and allow you to repair, modify the install.

I did that. It comes up, "uninstall" "add components" or "repair". When I tell it to "add components" it comes up with Excel, Word, Publisher (or powerpoint, cant remember which) but nothing about Access, which is what I want.

Yeah that version doesn't come with access

I am pretty sure open office has a database program in it. You might want to try that

yes, there are several editions of OFFICE which offer different programs.
The Small Business edition (as I recall) has Powerpoint but missing Access.
The Standard edit has just the reverse, Acess w/o Powerpoint.
