Application Overview: Microsoft Access 2016/19

Microsoft Access is a relational database management system that 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.

Get started quickly with prebuilt applications that you can modify or adapt to your needs. You can create and edit detailed reports that display sorted, filtered, and grouped information.

Using Microsoft Access, you can manage all your information from a single database file, run queries to find and retrieve just the data you want, and create forms to view, add, and update data in tables.
