Microsoft Access 2016
Access 2016 (PN) refers to the 2016 edition of Microsoft Access, which is part of the Microsoft Office Professional suite. It is a relational database management system designed for creating and managing databases with minimal programming knowledge.
Key features of Microsoft Access 2016:
- User-friendly interface
Access 2016 uses a ribbon-based interface similar to other Office applications. It includes templates to quickly create common types of databases. - Tables, queries, forms, and reports
These are the main components used to store, retrieve, enter, and display data. Queries allow users to manipulate data using SQL or a visual query designer. - Macros and VBA
Macros help automate repetitive tasks. Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) allows for advanced programming and customization. - Data connectivity
Access 2016 can connect to external data sources such as Excel, SharePoint, SQL Server, and ODBC databases. - Data validation and relationships
Users can define relationships between tables and enforce referential integrity. Field properties and validation rules help maintain data quality. - Web app integration
Access 2016 previously allowed the creation of Access Web Apps for use with SharePoint. This feature was discontinued in later versions.
