evaluate MS Access in relation to an open source database and scalable
enterprise databases. The program duration ranges from 3 to 17 days.
MS Access 2010 has been integrated with MS SPF: SharePoint
Foundation and SPS: Windows SharePoint Services. WPF is a no charge add on to
64-bit Windows Server 2003 or 2008 Release 2 that provides the capability to
share Access 2010 applications from document libraries and use Access to create
or edit SharePoint lists. Access 2010 supports browser-based web databases
published to Access Services running in SPS and has been designed to utilize
XML, XSD: XML Schema, and XSLT. Access 2010 provides the capability to
dynamically generate XML data and provides a standard transform to render data
in HTML format.
MS Access 2010 can be used to:
- Automate databases with the Access 2010’s data macro features.
