What's New for Microsoft Access 2000 Developers

See Also

Extensive changes have been made to the Microsoft Access 2000 Visual Basic object model to support new and improved features in the application. Many objects, properties, and methods have been replaced. To provide backward compatibility, most of the replaced components have been hidden rather than removed. This means that they don't show up in the Object Browser by default, but old code that uses the hidden components will still work correctly without modification. When you write new code, however, you should use the new objects, properties, and methods.
