1 MS Access 2003 Access is a database program that allows you to store, retrieve, analyze, and print information. Individuals use databases for various purposes. Businesses use databases to manage customer files, track orders and inventories, and for marketing purposes. Individuals keep track of household expenses or personal addresses, and teachers manage student grades and other student information.
