I cannot get it to work...I have Windows XP...

The next instruction says to click the start button, click the all programs button, click microsoft office, then click microsoft office access 2003 to start the program...

When I do this option, there is no microsoft office access 2003 option under the microsoft option...

Can anyone help me with this???

Hi,

whilst I can get to Prentice Hall at www.prenhall.com/grauer there appears to be no 'Student Download' tab, but,

If you have downloaded a Student copy of MS Access then the icon should be on your desktop if you followed the displayed text.

If you downloaded a sample Access db then a .mdb file would be there.

Double-click the .mdb file to open MS Access.

If you do not have MS Access then you will not be able to open the db files. If the link was supposed to download a student ( ? ) copy of Access then repeat the download and install again.

MS Access was part of the 2003 Office suite and shows under that folder on my PC.
