ms-access
Microsoft Access
Overview
This skill helps AI agents work with Microsoft Access databases — designing tables, writing queries, building forms and reports, automating with VBA, and planning migrations to modern platforms. Access is widely used in small businesses and departments for data management, and agents should know how to build, maintain, and eventually migrate these systems.
Access itself is a Windows desktop application, so an agent usually writes SQL and VBA for a person to paste in, drives msaccess.exe from the command line, or reads the .accdb file directly with ODBC (Windows) or mdbtools (Linux, macOS). Supported releases in October 2026 are Access 2024 and Microsoft 365; Access 2016 and 2019 left support on 14 October 2025 and Access 2021 leaves it on 13 October 2026.
