Microsoft Office Access is a relational database management system from Microsoft which combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface. Access can use data stored in Access/Jet, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or any ODBC-compliant data container. Skilled software developers and data architects use it to develop application software. Relatively unskilled programmers and non-programmer 'power users' can use it to build simple applications. It supports some object-oriented techniques but falls short of being a fully object-oriented development tool.

Programming forms and accessing a simple database should not be this difficult. I find it easier to program in C# and SQL-Server then this software.
The interface is a little outdated.
Performance is interesting, don't blame it, considering it is built to allow for multitude of changes from different users at a time.
Think it might be a little over value, but considering it is suppose to be aimed at non-tech business personnel it does it job very well.
want to be friends
its not bad
With the new 2007 version, Access has finally been done justice by Microsoft. Making custom databases is super-duper easy - with all the most commonly used ones already available as templates. It also made some decision-making easy when I was about to buy another software for inventory management. Needless to say, I went for Access.
