Hi all,

Just want to confirm: Access 2000 has the option of using MSDE 2000 instead
of JET, correct? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Or Oracle or MySQL or Informix or anything else you can get an ODBC driver
for, if you want it badly enough.

In simplest mode, the .mdb files are specially suited for talking to Jet
database, and .adp projects are designed for SQL Server (qua MSDE),
although you can make an .mdb file do the latter too.

Hope that helps
