    I did a project in school once where I had to develop a database solution for a video shop. It is fairly straight forward for simple things and I would imagine there would be plenty of tutorials online. Professor Google is your friend <ok>

    Access is ok for cataloguing your collection of illegally downloaded films or your CD collection, but it's of no use whatsoever in a commercial environment.

    It's fine for cataloguing projects that you don't need to know anything about.

    Proprietary file format, suitable for small-scale LAN-based databases, ODBC links to external data sources (as per Excel), best used in a back-end/front-end structure (i.e. one shared .mdb file for the data tables installed on a server, a second locally installed .mdb file for the data entry and report forms), ok as a front-end to SQL databases... not sure what else.

    I thought if you offered an opinion on its application it would appear that you know how to use it. Just google "introduction to" or something.
