Default Home Version Access

Thanks Granny! Now all of us are a little wiser. ;^)

There is no "home version" of Access


The "home version" of Access is a fringe benefit of employees who work for
large companies. It's part of a licensing agreement from Microsoft (and
other software vendors who offer the same thing) where employees who have a
license for Office on their work computer can purchase (or get a free CD) of
the "home version" of retail Office to install on their home computers so
they can work at home. This often happens with antivirus software, since
many companies are willing to foot the bill for more secure computers on
their networks.

I don't know if they still mark them in newer versions, but you can tell you
have a home version of Access when you open a form in form view. There's a
red stripe across the top of the Detail section.
