Access 2000
Starting Access
Opening Files in Access
Once you've used the Open dialog box to open a database file,
- The Microsoft Access dialog box will list the databases you commonly work with.
- If you accidentally close the Microsoft Access dialog box without choosing a file to work with, use the Open button to find the file.
GCFLearnFree.org's Access lessons all use examples from the Great Lake Elementary database. Download the Great Lake Elementary database (756 KB) for reference. However, if you'd rather work with another existing database, you should have little problem following our lessons.
You can review opening an existing file in our Office 2000 lessons.
