Summary
Increasingly, business users require better tools for finding and managing data. Microsoft Access 2000 helps organizations meet these demands by focusing on three key areas. First, Access 2000 simplifies the skill set needed to create simple, useful databases—the improved interface offers more consistency with other Office applications, plus new features that increase productivity. Second, Access 2000 adds Data Access Pages—Web pages that let users interact with data over the Web and maintain live links to a database. Finally, Access 2000, through its support of OLE DB, can act as a front end to high-end database engines such as Microsoft SQL Server™, making Access 2000 databases more scalable than ever before. Read this guide to understand these features and see how they can improve data management in your organization.
