Comparing Excel and Access
Excel and access both stores the data in the same way. They both store the information in a table with rows and columns.
In excel you can sort information by searching what you are looking for and use the toolbar to help you. Access can also store information but I think it is much easier and more advanced because you can sort information by using a query to find what you are looking for and you only have to type in what you want to find and not keep clicking on the toolbar above.
