Outlook is NOT part of Office but is sold as a separate product.
And it's an awful mail client, anyway, unless you're also using Exchange.

Project's also a very expensive additional product.

"Image viewer"???? "Note taking"???

That is *not correct. Outlook *is* part of Microsoft Office.

It is *also* sold as a separate product, as are the other parts of
Microsoft Office.

That may be your view, but it's not mine. Outlook works extremely well
as an e-mail client for me.

Not to mention, try opening an access file, it will try to open it as a
text file. Numerous attempts to open an access file has netted the same
results.

Funny. I put my Office DVD in the drive and Outlook got installed with
Office programs.

So that means you didn't install Access if it tries to open an access file
as text.

Maybe your version doesn't include Access.

Ok, you're right. I seem to remember that Outlook wasn't shipped
with Office, not even professional, but it's included with standard in 2007.

Project is *not* though...

Have they fixed all the file size and index corruption problems
with pst files yet? :-)

I'm talking about OpenOffice. Trying to open an access file with Open
Office.

Then measekite's answer is correct in a different way: Open Office lacks
support for Access databases. Or maybe not.

A few seconds online shows that Base uses files with extension odb; Access
doesn't use that extension. Try changing the extension of your Access file
to that, or try telling OO to import the file.

Thanks for a factual reply (mine was guesswork).
