discs that are mdb. Which version is best for me?

..mdb is the standard file extension for ACCESS files. All versions of ACCESS
will be able to open the file unless the file was created in the format of a
later version than the one you're using. You'll be told that by your ACCESS
software, if it's the case, when you try to open the file.

ACCESS 2003 is the latest version and is a good release. ACCESS 2002 also
good; ACCESS 2000 is buggy; ACCESS 97 is the "standard" among many ACCESS
developers (they really like it!). ACCESS 2007 is still in beta version.
