No its microsofts database GUI program that's part of Microsoft Office . imagine software made for users who have a vague understanding of SQL and visual basic but then an exec. forced the designers and devs to make it accessible to everyone while giving them barely any teamembers causing a fuckton of technical debt and unintuitive quirks , making anyone who opens the software feel like they have just been placed in a highly equipped tank , in front of a wall of unlabeled levers and told to drive the tank , or at least that's how I view it.

(reposting from another account sorry if you see both comments)

No its another program, I've seen people make weird stuff with it like ticketing systems and notes apps. I've never seen it be a robust program though

No Microsoft Access is/was a GUI software actually meant to have databases instead of how everyone uses Excel/spreadsheets as databases. It is a part of the office suite. It works pretty much like traditional databases but has an easier to access GUI for non programmers I guess. I don't think it's used a ton nowadays except for legacy processes that haven't been updated.

It’s the actual database app by Microsoft

I assume it hasn’t existed for a number of years

We use it at work for it's actual intended purpose: as a small database that isn't customer facing. It's used and maintained by nontechnical staff to keep data about equipment (slot machines).

It would be too much info for excel, but it's not enough to really need anything more.
