Access Version History

[JonHigh]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to write a brief report about the history of Microsoft
Access: The various verions, the year they were released, and what
major features were included in each. I've done a few Google searches
on this but can't seem to come up with anything. I have every version
from 2.0 on up but don't feel like installing all of these and looking
through the help files. Does anyone know if this information is easily
available somewhere? Thanks!

You can find the info here:

http://www.microsoft.com/Office/previous/access/10years/

In fact, the above has a "flash" time line that you can then get/grab
details about each new version.

that link from the above is:

http://www.microsoft.com/Office/previous/access/10years/history.asp

Make sure you let the start of the flash demo run, and when it stops, you
can then click on each version in a "timeline" format.

The above info does NOT include anything on the new 2003 version.

The above info does NOT include
anything on the new 2003 version.

Unsurprisingly, however, Access 2003 was released as part of the Microsoft
2003 Office System... the launch event was held in New York in October,
2003. You'll find information on the new features and enhancements in Office
2003 at http://www.microsoft.com/office.
