What is Access? When would you use Access instead of Excel?

Access is a database management system from Microsoft.

Explanation:

Access allows users to view, edit and delete data, manage database tables, forms, queries, reports and macros.

Access should be use instead of Excel when you need to manage data and have it organize, easy to search and available to different users. If you need to be able to track information that is in different categories but is related, Access is a better option.
