Update: Office XP for Students and Teachers and Office 2003 Students and Teachers Edition are NOT qualifying products for upgrade to any Office 2007 edition. The verbiage in the referenced web page will be corrected soon.

Lifecycle support for Office 2000 has ended, so Microsoft has not officially tested it for compatibility with Vista, but many people have successfully installed it (and Office 97 too) on Vista.
If your copy of Office 2000 is an OEM copy (that is, it came preinstalled on your old computer by the computer manufacturer), then the End User License Agreement does not allow you to transfer the software to any other computer. Whether OEM or retail, the EULA does not allow you to use the software on two laptops.
See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/FX101754511033.aspx for upgrade pricing and qualifying product information.

I have a Toshiba Notebook:
System Model Satellite 1905 System Type X86-based PC Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 GenuineIntel ~2392 Mhz BIOS Version/Date TOSHIBA V1.80, 11/07/2002 15.4" screen
HDD = 40GB, RAM = 512MB
3.5" floppy drive
CD-RW/DVD-ROM, that is not working some of the time - think the lenses got scratched?!
It has only USB 1.x ports, Firewire port, PCM-CIA slot, parallel & serial ports
It is running:
Windows XP Home Edition SP2
MS Office 2000 Premium with MS Access, etc.
In my work I have to use, create, modify, etc. Access DB files, MS Word 2000 Docs. on a network or standalone on my notebook.
I went to look at a new Toshiba notebook last week, running Vista Premium Home Edition, and was told that Vista will not run MS Office 2000??!
My questions:
Do I have to buy a new Vista Notebook ($850+), and then fork over another $300+ for MS Office 2007 (with Access), and it is only the upgrade NOT the full edition? Most of the new Notebooks now come with MS Works 8.x -- is Office 2007 able to upgrade THAT?
But will the files be accessible and modifiable in MS Office 2000 as that is what the other PC's in the company use??
The companies main Database (and DOC files), are created and maintained using MS Office 2000, and if they are NOT/will NOT be able to interact with files created in MS Office 2007, then I HAVE to go back to XP and Office 2000!?
Or is my only other option to buy a Vista OS loaded Notebook along with a new copy of Windows XP (Home or Pro),
and replace the Vista OS on the Notebook so I can use Office 2000?
I sincerely appreciate your comments, suggestions, etc.!
Thank you,
Cindy
