The Orders and Developer Solutions sample databases that are included with earlier versions of Microsoft Access were not included with Access 2000.

The Orders and Developer Solutions sample databases for Access 2000 are now available

Orders   The Orders sample application is a sample order entry and invoicing system. Its features include the ShowEvents form, which helps you see the order in which events occur when you are working with forms and controls, and custom data filtering capabilities that you can use in addition to the filtering functionality provided by Access. The initial chapters of Microsoft Access 2000: Building Applications with Forms and Reports explain how to build the features shown in the sample application.

Developer Solutions   The Developer Solutions sample application contains examples of the forms, reports, and interface elements you most commonly use to create applications. From changing a form’s toolbars in response to events to creating a crosstab report with dynamic column headings, the objects in Developer Solutions illustrate the main areas of application design. This sample application also includes procedures that you might find useful as you develop your own applications—for example, you will find procedures that link tables at startup, close all objects when the user exits the application, and capitalize the first letter of every word in a field.

This  example (A2K format) contains a module that can be used to reliably center (both horizontally and vertically) a form in the Access Window. There is a very simple demo of how it works, as well. The module itself uses Windows API calls to determine the Access application client area and the dimensions of the form in question, and calculates what the TOP and LEFT settings of the form should be to be centered in the Access window.

To use, simply insert the entire modCenterForm into your own database. It is called as follows:

Code:

Call gfncCenterForm([form])

The company that originally deployed this product no longer supports it. The product has since given it to public domain  soley as an "as is" device. Their information has been stripped out of the attachments and manual. This tool is what it is and is considered "skilled" to "advanced" for level of developer skills to manipulate successfully.

Basically, you're on your own with this one. But it is an excellent portrayal of Access' capabitlies.

The download includes both  Access 97 and Access 2000 formats of these two files:

1) Orchid (the demo)

2) DesGrid (the un-altered components) 

Each contains a Month-Grid and an Hour-Grid. Also included is a PDF of the Manual.

This is a revision of the Universal Search demo that shows how to search for a list of string values in ALL non-system tables in ALL fields for the current database.

To search for more than one string, enter the values in the text box in comma-delimited format.

These matching records are displayed in a list box. Double click an item in the list box brings up the detail view of the first 11 fields of that table.

This is a basic example of how to store the path to  a file and also be able to view the file. You can browse using the standards windows common dialog to select the file. You can view the file using the application defined with the Windows File Associations. It uses the ShelExec API to open the file. It does not use the .Followhyperlink  method.

This example is a continuous form that could easily be used as a sub form to attach multiple documents to a record.

Here is an example of how to make a combo box display text like "Find a Customer" and then when you click the drop down arrow, the text goes away. This is similar to what you see on web pages.

The attached is in 2000 format.
