MS Access 2000

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

Microsoft Access - the best - who says so - Me. Oay, now that's all I really wanted to write here because it sums up the reason why anyone actually rates something - they like it more than any other and they don't need to justify it to anybody else, but that would be pretty boring for all you keen as mustard Dooyoo-ers out there, so I'm going to give you a few other reasons to be cheerful. Just to summarise, however, Microsoft's Access in all its various formats and versions is probably the best and most commonly used database software around today - now commonly used isn't always a guarantee of quality, but in the case of this ...  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.

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. Microsoft Access 2000 has a lot of new features but it cannot work properly with ASP which I hope this problem has been solved now. 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
