95/97/ME/2000/NT depending on the versions used. Access 97/2000/2002 is a "powerful relational database application with which a desktop user can efficiently create and manipulate database systems" (Microsoft, 2002). The main  group of users for this application are desktop users, such as individuals or small workgroups who use databases which measure megabytes (Microsoft, 2002).

There are a range of wizards to increase ease  of use and a query wizard to help with the finding of data (Microsoft, 2002). Underlying this fa?ade there is the facility of Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) as  a programming language as well as the tool bars. This is an application that is often used as the front end for a SQL Server, and is cited by Microsoft  as being the top choice with the developers (Microsoft, 2002). When looking at Access more closely there are two main components, there is the application development area and the data
