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.

    Handy for crating databases on a small scale. I rather use VB.Net along with MSSQL for bigger databases

    This program is typical of Microsoft. It does a lot of stuff, but is cluttered and confusing. You mostly do things with templates, which is ok with me. The price is preposterously high.
