What is MS Access 2000? It’s a database, and it is included in the more comprehensive versions of Office 2000. Therefore, although you may be quite familiar with MS Word, and probably even write your opinions on it, and you may even dabble with MS Excel, MS Access is still somewhat more peripheral to MS Office, and definitely a product only for those that need a database. The major problem confronting anyone tempted to have look at Access out of curiosity is the lack of clues given by loading it. With Word you get a white piece of “paper” and a flashing cursor, so there’s a bit of a hint! With Excel, you get what ...  Read the complete review

As a university student who does a lot of work with boring databases, I feel qualified after 3 years using Access by Microsoft to give a decent review of the product. Little did I know in my earlier years of learning data modelling and how databases were formed that Access was a relatively simple database software to use and the curses from years gone by are now meaningless. The main functions and tasks of Access 2000 are as follows: Making tables, producing queries, designing forms, executing reports with wizards, calculations and graphs, import and export, attachment, macros and Access basic. ...  Read the complete review

No doubts, Microsoft Access is one of the answers for database management, because it is very user friendly. Yet, it is only suitable for medium and small size database, because it is relatively unstable compare with Oracle and other unix base database managements.

The other problem is, the database which is created under Microsoft Access 2000 environment, cannot be opened from Microsoft Access 97. This the common problem of Microsoft Access, it happened on Microsoft Access 95 when Microsoft Access 97 was launched. ...  Read the complete review

Like the rest of Office, Access has been reworked with the aims of ease of use, collaborative working on the Net and powerful data analysis. In the case of Access, however, a lot of effort has gone into facilities for power users and developers, probably because Access has such a stranglehold on the desktop database market that Microsoft sees the need to push for the developer database market as more important. Looked at another way, Access had previously been a product that was weaker on the developer side than on the end-user side, so that was the part that needed most improvement. CHANGE OF VIEW The first thing you notice about Access is that the ...  Read the complete review

Access 2000 is a very good database package that allows you to either create your own databases for storing information or import information from external sources. Each database is made up of tables and each table can contain fields which may contain strings, numbers, dates and text fields. Creating the tables is a very simple process, once your have created a table you can enter data into using a linear (spreadsheet style) of entry or you can create a nice looking (windows style) form that allow you to input the data, it is best to use a form as this can then be distributed to allow other users to enter data. Once you have the data in your tables you ...  Read the complete review
