Hi Robert, and Linda,
I think people are making some confusion there. Microsoft has announced a 
mandatory patch for new installations of Office 2003 and Office XP (Office 2003 
SP2) that breaks part of the connection between Excel and Access, that being 
due to a patent lawsuit Microsoft recently lost to Amado (more details at 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904953/). It may be that people are 
interpreting this as meaning that Microsoft will discontinue Access, which is 
not the case.
