Microsoft Access
1. <database> A relational database running under {Microsoft
Windows}. Data is stored as a number of "tables",
e.g. "Stock". Each table consists of a number of "records"
(e.g. for different items) and each record contains a number
of "fields", e.g. "Product code", "Supplier", "Quantity in
stock".
Access allows the user to create "forms" and "reports". A
form shows one record in a user-designed format and allows the
user to step through records one at a time. A report shows
selected records in a user-designed format, possibly grouped
into sections with different kinds of total (including sum,
minimum, maximum, average).
There are also facilities to use links ("joins") between
tables which share a common field and to filter records
according to certain criteria or search for particular field
values.
Version: 2 (date?).

2. <communications> A communications program from Microsoft,
meant to compete with ProComm and other programs. It sucked
and was dropped. Years later they reused the name for their
database.

Microsoft Access
.svg?width=120)
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. It is a member of the Microsoft 365 suite of applications, included in the Professional and higher editions or sold separately.
Microsoft Access stores data in its own format based on the Access Database Engine (formerly Jet Database Engine). It can also import or link directly to data stored in other applications and databases.
Software developers, data architects and power users can use Microsoft Access to develop application software. Like other Microsoft Office applications, Access is supported by Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), an object-based programming language that can reference a variety of objects including the legacy DAO (Data Access Objects), ActiveX Data Objects, and many other ActiveX components. Visual objects used in forms and reports expose their methods and properties in the VBA programming environment, and VBA code modules may declare and call Windows operating system operations.
