I appreciate your weighing in on my question! &nbsp;:)<br />
It would be a rather large problem if it doesn't work - That being said: &nbsp;Is it worth the hassle of uninstalling access form a client machine and then trying it out...? &nbsp;<br />

Why don't you just download office business suite (without access) trial or evaluation copy and just try it out with that since you gonna buy that...see if it works.<br />

Our company is poised to purchase a few new laptops. &nbsp;In the interest of saving a few dollars on software, I would like to know if i could get away with downgrading from Office Pro to Office Business Suite on each laptop. &nbsp;The problem is that i don't know whether i can run word and excel VBAs which query an access database using machines that don't have MS Access. <br />
<br />
Putting it another way: &nbsp; Is it possible to successfully run a word vba on a machine that has office business suite (which does not come with MS Access) and use the DAO to connect to and pull info from an existing access database?<br />
<br />
I'd appreciate some input...thanks!<br />
