Microsoft Office Access 2010 (version 14, called Access 2010 in this book) is a powerful, robust, and mature 32-bit and, finally, 64-bit relational database management system (RDBMS) for creating desktop and client/server database applications that run under Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000+. As a component of the Professional and higher editions of the 2010 Microsoft Office suite, Access 2010 has an updated user interface that’s consistent with the Fluent user interface (UI) of other Office 2010 members.

Access has vanquished all desktop RDBMS rivals except FileMaker Pro and Microsoft’s Visual FoxPro. However, in March 2007, Microsoft announced that Visual FoxPro (VFP) v9.0 would be the last version. In April 2007, Microsoft representative Yair Alan Griver announced that VFP v9.0 would be supported through 2015. Thus FileMaker Pro is the only likely long-term competition for Access.

The primary reasons for Access’s success are its inclusion in the Microsoft Office productivity suite and its prowess as a rapid application development (RAD) environment for creating industrial-strength database applications. Another contributor to Access’s market share is the capability to duplicate on the PC desktop the features of client/server relational database systems, also called SQL databases. Client/server RDBMSs have led the way in transferring database applications from costly mainframes and UNIX servers to modestly priced networked PCs and mobile devices. Despite Access’s power—and the claims of its erstwhile competitors—this desktop RDBMS is easy for nonprogrammers to use.

Microsoft’s top priority for Access 2010 is to broaden the base of new users by focusing on typical tracking applications generated by a bevy of out-of-the box templates and more templates from Office Online that take maximum advantage of Access 2010’s new navigation features and tabbed document presentation. Many potential Access customers view Access as difficult to master. The new Access templates enable information workers to create and begin using simple database applications in a few minutes.
