I have Pro-Plus too, and I'm definitely an individual contractor. And yes, I too fork over the money for it, whenever I get a new PC, because it has Access. My little sister reminds me from time to time that OpenOffice is just as good, but I don't want to write something for a client and then find out that it isn't QUITE the same as the real thing.

In prior times when I consulted for a living I did always buy the “Professional” version because it included Access. A little time spent with Mr. Google says that the “Plus” version may be for “business volume purchases only”, not for individual purchase, but I may be mis-interpreting what I read. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
