Microsoft Access stores data in its own format based on the Access Jet database engine. The program can also import or link directly to data which is stored in other programs and databases. Software developers can use Microsoft Access to develop software, and advanced users can use Microsoft Access to build simple applications. Microsoft Access is supported by Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
