Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) from Microsoft that combines the relational Access Database Engine (ACE) with a graphical user interface and software-development tools (not to be confused with the old Microsoft Access which was a telecommunication program that provided terminal emulation and interfaces for ease of use in accessing online services such as Dow Jones, Compuserve and electronic mailbox in the 1980s[3][4]). It is a member of the Microsoft 365 suite of applications, included in the Professional and higher editions or sold separately.
Microsoft Access's role in web development prior to version 2010 is limited. User interface features of Access, such as forms and reports, only work in Windows. In versions 2000 through 2003 an Access object type called Data Access Pages created publishable web pages. Data Access Pages are no longer supported. The Jet Database Engine, core to Access, can be accessed through technologies such as ODBC or OLE DB. The data (i.e., tables and queries) can be accessed by web-based applications developed in ASP.NET, PHP, or Java. With the use of Microsoft's Terminal Services and Remote Desktop Application in Windows Server 2008 R2, organizations can host Access applications so they can be run over the web.[29] This technique does not scale the way a web application would but is appropriate for a limited number of users depending on the configuration of the host.

Access 2010 allows databases to be published to SharePoint 2010 web sites running Access Services. These web-based forms and reports run in any modern web browser. The resulting web forms and reports, when accessed via a web browser, don't require any add-ins or extensions (e.g., ActiveX and Silverlight).
A compiled version of an Access database (file extensions .MDE /ACCDE or .ADE; ACCDE only works with Access 2007 or later) can be created to prevent users from accessing the design surfaces to modify module code, forms, and reports. An MDE or ADE file is a Microsoft Access database file with all modules compiled and all editable source code removed. Both the .MDE and .ADE versions of an Access database are used when end-user modifications are not allowed or when the application's source code should be kept confidential.
Users can create tables, queries, forms and reports, and connect them together with macros. Advanced users can use VBA to write rich solutions with advanced data manipulation and user control. Access also has report creation features that can work with any data source that Access can access.
The original concept of Access was for end users to be able to access data from any source. Other features include: the import and export of data to many formats including Excel, Outlook, ASCII, dBase, Paradox, FoxPro, SQL Server and Oracle. It also has the ability to link to data in its existing location and use it for viewing, querying, editing, and reporting. This allows the existing data to change while ensuring that Access uses the latest data. It can perform heterogeneous joins between data sets stored across different platforms. Access is often used by people downloading data from enterprise level databases for manipulation, analysis, and reporting locally.
As data from a Microsoft Access database can be cached in RAM, processing speed may substantially improve when there is only a single user or if the data is not changing. In the past, the effect of packet latency on the record-locking system caused Access databases to run slowly on a virtual private network (VPN) or a wide area network (WAN) against a Jet database. As of 2010,[update] broadband connections have mitigated this issue. Performance can also be enhanced if a continuous connection is maintained to the back-end database throughout the session rather than opening and closing it for each table access.[citation needed]
Microsoft Access stores relationship/foreign key information in an internal table called MSysRelationships. That table is protected against read access even to the Admin user, so if you try to migrate without opening up access to it, then you will get an error like this:
As we know, up-to-date information at the fingertips of doctors, nurses, and staff is critical to manage any crisis. So, how did IT Impact address this question? By tracking medical supplies, such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which is essential for hospitals, testing and other medical care facilities, and then implementing a Field Hospital Inventory System. This is an easy-to-use solution that is accessible for anyone to download and consume.

You can access the sample database file, tutorial.accdb, in the folder returned by entering this code at the command line. fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox','database','dbdata')Copy this database file into a folder where you have permission to write. Ensure that the database file is writable by verifying its properties:
The Database Explorer app accesses the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator automatically when you configure an ODBC data source. Alternatively, you can access the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator using the configureODBCDataSource function.
We can also use Excel for complex statistical analysis. Since Excel is easy to use and has a lot of flexibility, we can build a complex statistical model in Excel. But on Access, it is more about collecting and sorting data. And many prefer Excel over access because building systems on Access is quite hard.
WorkMap.ai (formerly HyperBase) from HyperOffice is one of the original Microsoft Access alternatives and has a very similar structure while providing the benefit of cloud access. Highlighted features:
Zoho is a tech juggernaut offering almost any application ever made. Zoho Creator, the online counterpart of Microsoft access, has a slick and easy to use interface. However, one of the few drawbacks reported from Zoho products, in general, is their lack of support.
As part of our Campus Agreement, all faculty and staff also have access to Office software and Office 365 online apps on their UGA-issued computers. Additional products that are not included on the Microsoft Campus Agreement may be purchased. Contact your Departmental IT staff for more information about items available for purchase.
The Microsoft Volume Licensing Services (MVLS) is provided for select IT Technicians to manage EES product downloads and keys for their department. Access is provided to one IT Manager per department and those managers may save software downloads and distribute to other IT Admins in their department. IT Technicians with access are responsible for controlling downloads, being sure they are contract compliant, and logging and securing keys. This is important because any audit findings will be the responsibility of the department.
Access requires a Departmental Access form signed by the appointee and a director or above supervisor. Orientation documentation as well as instructions on types of keys will be provided upon approval of EITS Contracts & Licensing. Users granted access are audits periodically by EITS Contracts & Licensing personnel to ensure we remain compliant with contract terms.
