Allows developers to create custom solutions using

VBA code FEATURES

Ideal for individual users and smaller teams


Microsoft Access is a simple desktop application that does not require any
specific hardware or license to function. Hence, it is ideal for individual users
and smaller teams who do not require larger and complicated data bases for
extra price.

2. Is easier than client-server database to


understand and use
Personal computer applications like Microsoft Access have taken over many
applications which were earlier relegated to client-server database in the past.
Users of Access need not undergo any special training to acquire the skills
necessary to use the application.

Learning and managing this powerful application using the most effective
techniques and tools available is possible even for new users who have little or
no knowledge of managing databases.

Microsoft Access stores different data sets known as Tables that are potentially
related which when combined together increases data flexibility.

3. Import and export to other Microsoft Office


and other applications
One of the most useful features of Microsoft Access is its ability to interface with data
from many other programs.

It is also easier to combine data that was created in other programs, transfer data
between two other programs, or to accumulate and store data over the long term,
occasionally exporting data to other programs such as Excel for analysis.

With Microsoft Access there are number of ways to copy an object such as a table or
form from one database to another effortlessly. Besides copying and pasting an object,
Microsoft  Access also allows exporting an object which comes with more options.
4. Ready templates for regular users to create
and publish data
Microsoft Access helps users in creating and managing databases even if they have
minimal experience in the field. This is made possible with the help of several
Microsoft Access templates which has everything ready for use.

7.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a programming language that can be
used with Microsoft Access. Developers using Access can create custom
solutions for their database using VBA code which is an effective programming
language that consists of a code/command for specific programs.

The instructions will cause actions to take place automatically when the
program is executed.  This powerful feature allows developers to extend basic
custom end-user solutions to a professional solution by using advanced
automation, data validation, error trapping, and multi-user support in their
databases.

8. Hide/Show option for Ribbon


The Microsoft  Access window consists of a variety of components helping
users to work more efficiently. The important components are the Navigation
Pane, Access work area, ribbon, shortcut menus, and Quick Access Toolbar.
Some of these components are common to other Office apps whereas others are
unique to Microsoft Access.

The ribbon contains five tabs used to accomplish various tasks on the computer
related to organizing and managing the contents of the open window in
Microsoft Access.

It is located near the top of the window below the title bar and provides easy,
central access to the tasks performed while creating a database

Output Reports in PDF format


Today more and more users are sharing database through electronic image
formats or popularly known as fixed formats like PDF by Adobe Systems and
XPS by Microsoft.
Access allows users to create reports in electronic image files through the
EXTERNAL DATA tab on the ribbon. These reports can be viewed even by
users who do not have Access installed on their system since the PDF file can
be opened on
Adobe reader.

With the reports and database shared in PDF format, the applications of Access
has been enhanced significantly. Users love this output type which is welcome
as a useful addition which makes it convenient and simple to distribute reports
via email which saves paper and contributes to green computing.

With all the above features and many more, no wonder that Microsoft Access is
today the world’s leading database system, with millions of users and hundreds
of thousands of developers benefiting from it.
