I am currently using Office97 Professional on a Windows98 PC. I live
in the UK.

I have been using Access97 quite happily but have decided that perhaps
it's time to upgrade.
However, I only wish to upgrade Access97 and not any of the other
Office97 components.

I've had a search on the Microsoft web site but still cannot find the
information I need.

Perhaps somebody could answer these questions:-

Is it possible to upgrade only the Access component of Office97
without affecting other components?
What is the latest (available) version of Access that I can upgrade to
from Access97?
 
You can upgrade to the latest version (Access 2003) which just came out a
few weeks ago. Although, you can upgrade just the Access program, I'd advise
against it if you ever use any of the functionality to share data with other
Office programs. Code which will run quite happily between Access and Excel,
for instance, may have problems when trying to locate the headers of the
wrong version of Excel.
