Now, thanks to a book by Pamela Rice Hahn (me!) and Keith Giddeon, it's easy to learn 
How to Use Microsoft Access 2000.

Finally! The chance to SEE how to use Microsoft Access 2000

The full-color screenshots and easy-to-follow instructions in How to Use Microsoft Access 2000 makes learning how to do any task in Microsoft Access 2000 an easy and enjoyable experience. 

I know that for me, the book was fun to write, more so probably because I'm a visual learner and I could SEE how this concept would work as I wrote my share of the book. The HOW TO USE series advantage provides the means to read the instructions necessary to perform the tasks, plus each set of instructions is accompanied with a full-color screenshot showing what's being done, so there are handy visual references every step of the way. That means there's no guessing. You see the menu commands in the text. You see a picture (in color!!!) of the menu itself. (Set up a mirror beside your computer and you can see yourself mastering Microsoft Access 2000, too!)

In the book, we show you how to create a database from scratch and how to use the Wizards to find the solutions for your business or personal needs. (Did we mention color?) We show you how to enter, alter, and preserve your all-important data. The book includes hands-on projects (conveniently called Projects, shown in -- you guessed it! -- color!) as well as step-by-step instructions (called Tasks) that take you through how to open the program; learn your way around the objects (tables, forms, reports, queries, ...); and, last but not least, how to publish your data to Web pages or sites. If you're dubious about jumping in and creating your own database right away, we even provide a colorful walk through the samples that Microsoft includes with Access 2000. A complex task can't get any simpler than that, can it?

I certainly hope that with the help of our book, you find your Microsoft Access 2000 encounter a colorful and productive learning experience.

You can visit the Access 2000 ICONS page. This page has a chart that displays all of the icons in Microsoft Access 2000 along with the toolbar location for those icons. There's also a handy Access 2000 reference chart.
