What is Ms-Access ?
Microsoft Access is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), designed primarily for home or small business usage.

Access is known as a desktop database system because it's functions are intended to be run from a single computer. This is in contrast to a server database application (such as SQL Server), where it is intended to be installed on a server, then accessed remotely from multiple client machines.

Microsoft (or MS) Access is a software package that you install just like any other software package, and is bundled as part of the Microsoft Office suite.
