Microsoft Access is a database software program that makes manipulating data manageable for users of many skill levels. You can input data and sort, filter or group information according to your needs. It's particularly useful when there are thousands of records and sorting through them individually would take hours. Access allows you to obtain the information quicker by providing a few commands to tell the program what is being sought. Reports can be created, too, that pull information out of the database according to the project parameters.
