Does anyone know where I can get a copy of MS Office v4 (specifically need Access v2) - software is from 1994 :wtf:

Not going to write the whole story as to why I need a 16 year old piece of software so here's a summary:
  • Old software package in use is based on Access v2 db
  • Db is corrupting on a daily basis
  • no decent tools available to repair that version
  • need to re-create the database and pull the non-corrupt data across into new tables
  • can't migrate to newer versions of access as the databases cannot be read by the old software
  • and yes, we are in the process of getting a NEW software solution; however still need the old system operational until then.

Otherwise if someone knows of a decent database repair tool that is compatible to access v2; would also be helpful :)
 
The best i can get is office 95. If you would like to try that then send me a message.
 
Have you tried opening the database in OpenOffice?
 
I assume this was MS Office 4.3 or thereabouts.

The OP does not say where his location is but I think I have a CD somewhere. If you are in Cape Town, PM me

Edit : Just checked, I have an original Office 4.3 which contains Access.

Thanks for the responses!

@Keru: even though that's a partial copy it's enough for me to try re-creating the database with; thanks!

@ITCynic: pm'd - would be great to get the full thing.

@Aharon: haven't tried openoffice - is worth a shot though!

@vusiboy: appreciate it; will be in touch if I still can't come right.

Thanks again!
