I have office professional on a few systems but use openoffice on another, and this opens Access Files quite happily... Also it will open Word, PowerPoint etc... So, if you cant afford to pay get openoffice... Good luck...

I would definitely give OpenOffice a shot. I recommend it to all my clients and they are very happy with it. It includes all the programs you required in your post and it is free. And it will open all files created in MS Office.

Ultimately, it's down to the user - I've found OpenOffice quite good for what I need.

So far as I'm concerned, you can't beat the Office package.
