Notes about features
After you have installed Microsoft Access 2000 or Microsoft Office 2000, the sample databases appear on the most recently used file list on the File menu, and on the list under Open An Existing File in the dialog box when you start Microsoft Access for the first time. However, as you begin to use your own files with Microsoft Access, the databases may no longer appear on these lists. Use the Microsoft Office 2000 Setup program or Microsoft Access 2000 Setup program to install one of the sample applications on your computer.
The Microsoft Access 2000 Setup program also installs Text Converters and additional Proofing Tools; most of these components are installed on first use and therefore do not consume a large amount of disk space. Although you can use these components with other Microsoft Office 2000 applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, they are not designed to be used directly with Microsoft Access.
If you do not use a custom installation, the Microsoft Office 2000 and Microsoft Access 2000 Setup programs install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. If you use a custom installation, you can choose not to install Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 if you want to use data access pages in Microsoft Access.
