Access db record collection - advice

[Kenb]

i have my record collection on an access database. label, artist, writers, dates, etc etc.

I've had to replace my P.C and didn't realise the Windows licences bundle ( i purchased) didn't have an Access license.

I know i could buy a stand-alone Access licence or get 365...but wondered if anyone had any legal work-around solution/advice?

TIA

thanks, I'll have to keep re-reading it...but i think that wouldn't work for me. I can get to the "run-time of my Access" i.e rows and columns, but i can't get to edit, add, move.

Mine 'pops up' with buy the Access Key (licence).

Open Office is a free alternative....not certain if you'd be happy using it but worth a try
