             Microsoft  Access  is  Database  Management  System  (DBMS)  from  Microsoft  that
             combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface

             and  software  development  tools.  It  is  a  member  of  the  Microsoft  Office  Suite  of
             applications, included in the professional and higher editions.

             8 Microsoft Access is just one part of Microsoft’s overall data management product
                  strategy.

             8 It stores data in its own format based on the Access Jet Database Engine.

             8 Like  relational  databases,  Microsoft  Access  also  allows  you  to  link  related
                  information easily, for example, customer and order data. However, Access 2013
                  also  complements  other  database  products  because  it  has  several  powerful
                  connectivity features.

             8 It  can  also  import  or  link  directly  to  data  stored  in  other  applications  and

                  databases.
             8 As  its  name  implies,  Access  can  work  directly  with  data  from  other  sources,

                  including  many  popular  PC  database  programs,  with  many  SQL  (Structured
                  Query Language), or on mainframes, and with data stored on internet or intranet
                  web servers.

             8 Access  can  also  understand  and  use  a  wide  variety  of  other  data  formats,
                  including many other database file structures.

             8 You can export data to and import data from word processing files, spreadsheets,
                  or database files directly.
