                 Access 2016





                 Access 2016 is a part of MS Office 2016 software suite. This edition of MS Access
                 comes with a slightly colourful user interface. However, the look and feel remains
                 the same. Access 2016 provides various new features that were not present in the
                 earlier versions of MS Access. Let us discuss some the new features of Access 2016.

                 FEATURES OF ACCESS 2016

                 Following are some of the important features of Access 2016:
                    Tell Me: Access 2016 introduced a new feature called Tell Me. When you open the Access

                    2016 window, you will see a text box with Tell me what you want to do message below the
                    Title bar. This text box has a bulb icon right next to it. In this text box, you can type any topic
                    name related to Access 2016 and press the Enter key. A list of all features and programs that
                    might help you in completing your task appears.




                     New Themes: Access 2016 allows you to change the theme. It provides two themes—one is
                    plain white and the other is colourful. You can change the theme by clicking on File→Options→

                    General→Office Theme.






















                     Templates:  Access  2016  comes  with  five  pre-designed  desktop  templates  (Assets,  Events,
                    Contacts, Tasks, and Students) to allow you to start working with Access databases with ease.
                     Larger Show Table Dialog Box: The size of the Show Table dialog box is increased. In

                    the earlier versions of MS Access, have long complained that the height of the Show Table
                    dialog box allows a limited view of tables.
