Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your post,

If you are using 2000 - 2003 versions you can install Access 2007 and upgrade your existing data as you use it.
Access 2007 is backwardly compatible, if you have colleagues who are using the old versions you can ensure that you save your new work in 2003 compatible files which they can use.
Before attempting any upgrade ensure that all your important files are backed up or you have copies of them away from your computer.
Before upgrading to Access 2007 it is a good idea to give it a 'test drive' you can download a trial version from Microsoft, the reason I suggest this is that Access 2007 has been completly re-vamped from the ground up and there are some quite amazing changes which you will need to get your head around. I note that you are attending an Access Intro Course on the 11th Aug, if this is 2007 great!

I hope that has helped a bit, regards Pete
