Microsoft Access 2016 – Retail Activation Key (1 PC)

Microsoft Access 2016 is the relational database software of the Office suite, sold here separately as a one-off purchase for 1 PC. It lets you structure data that the spreadsheet no longer handles correctly: customer files, inventories, intervention tracking, stock or library management.

What Access allows

• Tables and relationships — organise your data in tables linked to one another, with primary keys and referential integrity, rather than in long, redundant spreadsheets.
• Queries — query, filter, group and cross-reference your data in graphical mode or in SQL.
• Forms — create clean data-entry screens so that your colleagues feed the database without touching the tables.
• Reports — generate printable reports or ones exportable to PDF, with groupings and totals.
• Macros and VBA — automate repetitive processing and build genuine small business applications.
• External connections — link SQL Server, SharePoint, ODBC tables or Excel workbooks.

Access or Excel

Excel excels at calculations and one-off analysis. Access takes over as soon as several people are entering data, when that data repeats (the same customer across hundreds of orders) or when the volume exceeds tens of thousands of rows. The two tools work very well together: import and export are built in.

What you need to know

Access 2016 has reached end of support: the software remains fully functional and the .accdb format is compatible with more recent versions, but it no longer receives patches. This licence suits an older workstation, an existing database to maintain or a tight budget.
