MICROSOFT SHOWCASES FMS YEAR 2000 TOOL AT TECHNET BRIEFINGS
WASHINGTON, DC —May 13, 1999 — Microsoft® (NASDAQ: MSFT) has selected FMS' popular Microsoft Access Year 2000 program, TOTAL ACCESS INSPECTOR 2000, to showcase during its internationally-scheduled Year 2000 TechNet briefings this summer and fall. Over 130 cities in the US and abroad will participate, and TOTAL ACCESS INSPECTOR 2000 is the only Microsoft Access Year 2000 tool included in the tour.
Microsoft Access is the most popular Windows database. As the most comprehensive Year 2000 tool available for Microsoft Access, TOTAL ACCESS INSPECTOR 2000 inspects Access databases to detect specific date-related problems and potential date usage. Extensive information on finding and fixing Year 2000 related problems is included, and more than 50 output reports are generated to reveal Year 2000 issues in Access databases.
In preparation for the national tour, Microsoft invited Luke Chung, FMS president and founder, to demonstrate TOTAL ACCESS INSPECTOR 2000 at the TechNet preview program in Washington, D.C. today. The enthusiastic audience learned a great deal about Year 2000 issues in Microsoft Office and Access, and was quite impressed with the product and how it helps them address their daunting Year 2000 tasks.
"We are extremely proud that Microsoft selected TOTAL ACCESS INSPECTOR 2000 as the best tool for addressing Year 2000 issues in Microsoft Access databases," said Luke Chung. "It's great to see Microsoft using the TechNet Year 2000 briefings to warn developers of the risks they face. Many PC developers still think Year 2000 doesn't apply to them or that it's Microsoft's fault. In many cases, it's poorly designed and written applications that will fail. We applaud Microsoft's efforts to educate developers on creating Year 2000 compliant applications. After all, there's nothing preventing developers from creating non-Year 2000 compliant solutions well into the next century!"
Microsoft's TechNet Briefings offer in-depth, how-to information on deploying, managing, supporting, and optimizing Microsoft products. Over 130 cities in the U.S. and abroad will host TechNet events this year.
