With Office 2000, Microsoft has created a new kind of Access database project that uses SQL Server as the data store rather than a Microsoft Jet .mdb file. This new format, called an .adp file... uses OLE DB rather than Jet to connect to SQL Server, so it's optimized for query speed. The .adp file is a binary file that contains the connection information plus all form, report, macro, and module definitions. You can still create .mdb files for single-user or small workgroup solutions if you want, but for large-scale database projects, the .adp file format is preferable.

Office 2000 includes three Office Web components—Spreadsheet, Chart, and PivotTable—which make corporate data available through a browser. Each of the Web components gives developers the opportunity to integrate powerful Office functionality into the solutions they distribute through the Web. The Spreadsheet component provides basic spreadsheet functionality in the browser, enabling users to enter text and numbers, create formulas, recalculate, sort, filter, and perform basic formatting. The Chart component provides interactivity and automatic updates as the underlying data changes. The PivotTable dynamic views component lets users browse report data, dynamically sort and filter it, group it by rows or columns, create totals, and focus on the details behind the totals.
