No, there's no such thing as "Access Services" in WSS 3.0.

"Access Services" is part of the MOSS 2010, which last I checked, is only available in beta right now. It's true, you will be able to design a database in MS Access (2010), and then deploy it to SharePoint (2010), and have users interact with the application in a web-based environment. I tried this in a test environment. It's pretty slick. Note that "Office 2010" by itself will do you no good without the SharePoint system. So stay tuned for the next versions of Office and MOSS 2010...

Office 2010

Hey everyone,

I downloaded Office 2010 this weekend and I am putting Access through
its paces. I like what I have seen so far and I am extremely intrigued
by the including of Access Services. I saw the Video aritcle on
Channel 9 and knew right away this was a product for me. I am not
sure if anyone has had the chance to look at it yet.

Access Services seems to be a part of the Office Suite, that will
allow users to take Databases and deploy them onto the internet using
SharePoint. Does anyone know if this can be used with WSS 3.0 or if I
need to have SharePoint server on my network? So far I havnt been
able to convince my managmen that SharePoint Server is necessary and
important for our applications.

Anyone got any thoughts?
