What Is Microsoft Access 2016?

Access 2016 is Microsoft’s desktop database application that lets you design tables, queries, forms, and reports to track anything—from inventory and CRM to training and events. You connect to external data sources, automate tasks with macros or VBA, and deliver reliable data solutions to your team without deploying a full server.

Choose Access 2016 when spreadsheets are hitting their limits but a full SQL platform would be overkill. If you also need Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and more, consider Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus and explore our Visio licenses to diagram processes and databases with ease.
