This is another thread I see come up from time to time in various forum; people wanting to buy Access, but being unable to figure out Microsoft’s website to actually do so!

Microsoft has gone out of their way so you basically can never find a direct link. They want everyone on Office 365! Even when you try to go on Access page and then click buy, you get pushed to Office 365.

Searching their site is no better, you don’t find it. Access doesn’t even show up in it’s list of products, even when you take the time to go on their “See all Office products” page. Access is simply not important to Microsoft, not enough to include in the list, not important enough to include on their “complete” listing page.

Anyways, back to managing to actually purchase just Access! A while back, and sadly I cannot remember who, but someone figured out that by going to the Bermuda locale on the MS website you could get a direct download link and from there switch back into their own local to get a functional link (I had tried US and GB, but never thought Bermuda! How they figured this one out I’ll never know). Wonders will never cease! Below are a few direct links for those looking

Canada -> https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/p/access/cfq7ttc0k7q8?cid=msft_web_collection&activetab=pivot:overviewtab
USA -> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/access/cfq7ttc0k7q8?cid=msft_web_collection&activetab=pivot:overviewtab
UK -> https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/access/cfq7ttc0k7q8?cid=msft_web_collection&activetab=pivot:overviewtab

If your country isn’t one of the above, simply load one page and then switch the locale (you should have the option at the bottom of the page).
