Microsoft Access  helps you analyze large amounts of information, and manage related data more efficiently than Microsoft Excel.

### Comment 3

I love MS Access and rely on it daily.  For me it all about Data Manipulation and joining related data sets.  Years ago, I would create an application, use Forms, and create Reports.  But now  I use Import to Link many different business tables.  Then I create queries that join these tables together.  Macros work wonders to create nice long streams of work (queries).  I never create reports because my users always want to filter or search my results, So a copy/paste or Export to Excel is always ideal.
