- 1. Q. What sources of information about Microsoft Access, in
- addition to the documentation, does Microsoft provide?
-
- A. Microsoft provides several resources with current information about
- Microsoft Access. If you have a modem, you can download Microsoft
- Knowledge Base articles about Microsoft Access from the Microsoft
- Download Service (MSDL). You can also download the Windows Driver
- Library (WDL) from this service. The WDL is also available at no
- charge on CompuServe, GEnie, and Microsoft OnLine. After you
- connect to any of these services, please read the WDL.TXT file for
- instructions on downloading the WDL and a complete list of files
- that it contains.
-
- You can reach the MSDL at (206) 936-6735. There is no charge for
- using this service; however, standard connect-time fees and long-
- distance telephone charges do apply when you are downloading
- information.
-
- On the CompuServe, GEnie, and Microsoft OnLine systems, the WDL is
- located in the Microsoft Software Library. On CompuServe, you can
- reach the Microsoft Software Library by typing "go msl" (without
- the quotation marks) at the command prompt. To locate the WDL.TXT
- file, search on the word S13354.
-
- If you do not have a modem, you can order the WDL on disk from
- Microsoft Consumer Sales at (800) 426-9400. Microsoft Consumer
- Sales is open Monday through Friday, 6:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M.,
- Pacific time. There is a $20 charge to order the WDL on disk.
-
- 2. Q. How many databases can I open at one time in Microsoft Access?
-
- A. Through the user-interface menus in Microsoft Access, you can open
- only one database at a time; therefore, you can view only one
- Database window in each session of Microsoft Access. In Access
- Basic, however, you can use the OpenDatabase() function to open
- several databases at once. The number of databases you can have
- open simultaneously through Access Basic is limited only by memory.
- Also, by choosing Attach Table from the File menu, you can attach
- to as many databases as memory allows.
