A Microsoft Access database is more than the tables, forms, queries and reports that you design. How does the table create an Auto number and distinguish it from a text field? What makes a query run?

 

Microsoft Access uses the Access Jet Database Engine. This engine is installed when you load the Microsoft Access software. The Jet Database Engine reads and saves the data. The engine also allows users to import and export information into other programs, such as Microsoft Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft Word mail merges, Paradox and dBase databases.
