Other features such as the sample databases, proofing tools, and Internet Explorer

After you have installed Microsoft Access 2002, the sample databases appear on the Help menu, under Sample Databases, if they were installed.

The Microsoft Access 2002 Setup program may also install Text Converters and additional Proofing Tools; most of these components are installed on first use and therefore do not consume a large amount of disk space. Although you can use these components with other Microsoft Office XP applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, they are not designed to be used directly with Microsoft Access.

If you do not use a custom installation, the Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Access 2002 Setup programs install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01. If you use a custom installation, you can choose not to install Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 (or later version) if you want to use data access pages in Microsoft Access.
