    But access comes with office, so if you have excel you have at least a software that is intended to be used as a DB (efficacy aside)

      Let’s be real, using Excel as a makeshift database is probably still better than actually using Access lol

        The only use case I can see for Access is when you absolutely must have a database and your company will not provide you a real database solution. I have experience with both, but haven’t touched Access in years (and hope to never do so again). To be fair, I also regularly use Excel for things that I should probably be using Word for because it is easier to get formatting right in Excel.
