Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit
version 2.0


"Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit (ADT) 2.0 provides advanced tools serious
developers need to create powerful custom applications."

Database application developers have specialized needs for product
functionality and support.  For example, they need the flexibility to deliver
applications with full-product and as stand-alone runtime applications.  They
also need the extended power that comes with greater customizability and more
in-depth technical information.  The ADT is a great complement to Microsoft
Access 2.0 for developers producing advanced database applications, creating
client/server solutions, or developing Wizards and other add-ins for Microsoft
Access.
