Running Microsoft Access 2000

Microsoft Access 2000 is the fifth full release of the product since its original introduction in 1992. Microsoft has sold more than 75 million copies of Microsoft Office, and more than 45 million copies of Office 97. Since a significant percentage of Office 97 sales included Microsoft Access, this certainly gives Access reasonable claim to being the most popular desktop database in the world. As further testament, I´ve seen overflowing Access sessions at conferences worldwide; I´ve taughtd oversold seminars about the product, from introductory to advanced levels; and I´ve seen everyone from novice end users to developers of advanced database applications make productive use of Acces. The high volume of activity on the Access forum on CompuServe and the Microsoft Access user newsgroups on the Internet are further examples of the high interest in the product.
