Readings

Required Text (2)

Both software products are available in 2003 and 2007 versions. Either can be used for the course assignments.

You can consider either downloading Access and Project 2007 (free from MSDNAA) OR  

Find the previous version of the book. Still on Amazon new (with 78 used) plus thousands in college bookstores everywhere. The chapter topics are the same. Believe me this is a far better solution than trying to adapt the new book to the old software - I suspect trying to use the old book with the new software will be equally as confusing.
