The Microsoft Office Web Components, a new feature of Office 2000, bring the power of data analysis to the Web. Office Web Components are automatically installed by Office 2000 Setup. PivotTable lists, like the PivotTable reports in Excel, provide a different way to view and report data stored within lists.
Charts provide graphical views of data, allowing users to quickly compare values.
A chart can be interactive, in that it will be updated on the Web page when its associated data is updated. The Data Source component is the reporting engine behind Data Access Pages, PivotTable lists, and data-bound charts, managing database connections and retrieving records for the other components. The Microsoft Office Web Components are available in FrontPage 2000 and the new data access page Design view in Access 2000. In Excel 2000, you can choose to publish your data with interactivity when you use the Save as Web page command.
