for microsoft access u can use a program called Neooffice
it is simple great and total free

As almadiney said. use neooffice at neooffice.org it works with all types of MS office files

for you second problem I'm not sure but could it be that you made your backup under a different user from which you're trying to restore the files to

If not maybe it is the HD that has the permissions conflict. try fixing the permissions on that HD using Disk utilities if that fails to fix your problem, try to get info on that HD and change the permissions so you're the owner

I could be wrong but this is something to start with.

good luck
