    MS Office 2003 products doesnt run on wine yet.
    While you can use version 2000 on Wine.

    EDIT: Check appdb.winehq.org for more reference.

    You may consider running VMware server and installing XP and access in the VM. That way you have the best of both worlds

    VMware server is also free.

    The real cost is the Windows OS, If you don't have an unused valid Windows install disk laying around.

    well thanks guys for your help but I was want to say on Suse and not go back to windows, I know about VMware and virtual box, I am using Vmware on my mac, but is boring...... I prefer to use just one OS not two or three etc... the best way is to boot in windows and do my work and after I finish it I will get back to Linux again...... I enjoy a lot Suse so that's why....... I am thinking to use office 2000, who know's it might work.....

    Thanks any way....

    Access doesn't run too well on either wine or crossover, so if you want full access operarability, you will need windows.
