white papers?

[Guest]

I found an interesting article on the microsoft site about migrating from
Access to SQL Server 2000. It references white papers which also look
interesting. For example it says:

Readers should be familiar with the differences between Access and SQL
Server, detailed in the Microsoft white paper, "What's New and Different
When Moving Your Back End from Access to SQL Server 2000."

and then later it says:
Re-create your forms using .NET and migrate your reports to Microsoft
Reporting Services. For more information, see the Microsoft white papers,
"How to Migrate Access Forms to .NET" and "How to Migrate Access Reports to
Reporting Services."

Where can I find these whiter papers?? I am an MSDN Universal level
subscriber, so I should have access to everything... Thanks!

The 'reports to reporting services' paper is at the following URL. Don't
know about the other one.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/deploy/migratereports.mspx

Thanks, but how did you find this white paper? It's interesting, but the
other two papers are even more critical to what I'm doing- Thanks-

Coincidence - someone posted the link recently in another forum. Sorry,
can't help with the others. What's the URL of the page where you found the
reference to them?

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/Deploy/accessmigration.mspx (It's just off of the sql server 2000 home page)

I made a note of the exact title, and searched for it, both at TechNet and
at MSDN, without result. I can only guess that either the title is wrong, or
possibly it was once correct but the paper has been renamed. Sorry.

You can find a copy of these files at the following location:

(I'm not sure if you must become a member of SSW but in any case, it's
free).

Great, Thanks a lot! these are the articles. So, the million dollar
question is: How did you find them? Is there a particular secret to finding
"microsoft white papers"? I would like to know for future reference-
