      MS ACCESS以它自己的格式将数据存储在基于Access Jet的数据库引擎里。它还可以直接导入或者链接数据存储在其他应用程序和数据库。

     软件开发人员和数据架构师可以使用Microsoft Access开发应用软件,“高级用户”可以使用它来构建软件应用程序。和其他办公应用程序，ACCESS支持Visual Basic宏语言,它是一个面向对象的编程语言,可以引用各种对象，包括DAO(数据访问对象),ActiveX数据对象,以及许多其他的ActiveX组件。可视对象用于显示表和报表，他们的方法和属性是在VBA编程环境下，VBA代码模块可以声明和调用Windows操作系统函数。

原文

Microsoft Access, also known as Microsoft Office Access, is a database management system from Microsoft that combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software-development tools. It is a member of the Microsoft Office suite of applications, included in the Professional and higher editions or sold separately. On May 12, 2010, the current version of Microsoft Access 2010 was released by Microsoft in Office 2010; Microsoft Office Access 2007 was the prior version.

MS Access stores data in its own format based on the Access Jet Database Engine. It can also import or link directly to data stored in other applications and databases.

Software developers and data architects can use Microsoft Access to develop application software, and "power users" can use it to build software applications. Like other Office applications, Access is supported by Visual Basic for Applications, an object-oriented programming language that can reference a variety of objects including 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 functions.
