Why Buy Access 2007 - Revisited

I know we have covered the subject of why it is beneficial to buy Microsoft Access 2007 instead of using the runtime version before, but there is good reason to bring it up again.

One of the great features in the new 3.15 version of the HR Data Manager is the Ad-Hoc Pivot Table reports. The runtime (Free) version of Microsoft Access does not have all the menu options and right mouse click menu that the purchased version has. Users of the runtime version of Access can still use the Pivot Table reports, but at a much less powerful level.

With the purchased version of Microsoft Access, users can show/hide detail which is great for seeing just counts, sums, averages etc. without the detailed information. They also have nearly unlimited control over how to manipulate the view of the data.

While the HR Data Manager software does not require the purchased version of Microsoft Access 2007, the user experience is much richer and more powerful with it.
