Microsoft Access 2000 is a versatile data management program, useful for home-office application as well as large-scale corporate databases shared by many users. It's fully compatible with Microsoft Windows 98, and features the same point-and-click simplicity of all Microsoft Office products. As with all Office 2000 products, Web integration is the key to the improvements of Access 2000 over previous versions.
Although the interface is a bit intimidating to the uninitiated, Access is fairly easy to learn and much more user friendly than many older database programs. Querying is done through the fully integrated SQL Server, and all your data management, including forms, reports, data analysis, and tables, can be done within an Internet Explorer window using data access pages. Users can create an SQL Server database within Access 2000, providing data access to a range of clients.
Whether users are creating a stand-alone desktop database for personal, departmental, or an entire organization's use, Access makes it easy to manage and share data. Access 2000 brings not only the traditional broad range of easy data management tools but also adds increased integration with the Web for easier sharing of data across a variety of platforms and user levels. Additional ease-of-use enhancements help with personal productivity.
