Microsoft Access
• An information management tool that helps you store
all kinds of information for reporting, analysis, and reference.

Database
• A collection of information - or data - that's stored on a computer,
allowing you to enter, access, and analyze it in a way you never could on paper.
• Access allows you to manage your information in one database file

Application of databases
• Inventory Tracking Database
• Access allows you to manage your information in one database file
• Payroll and Scheduling Database
• Using a database to manage employee information can simplify scheduling and
help prevent payroll errors.
• Business Data Analysis
• The robust reporting features of databases make them useful resources for
analyzing data and predicting future trends.

Access vs Excel
• While Excel is great at storing and organizing numbers, Access is better at analyzing
and connecting other types of data.
• Databases can connect data using relationships, while Excel cannot.
• Access recognizes that the items in these three lists are connected. That makes
entering, searching, and analyzing data so much easier

Objects
• Tables store your data in your database. It is the heart of any database.
• Queries ask questions about information stored in your tables
• Forms allow you to view data stored in your tables
• Reports allow you to print data based on queries/tables that you have created.
