A Database is a collection of information or data, it is also a tool for organising, storing and retrieving the information. Microsoft Access is what is known as a relational database. This is simply a database made up of more than one table, where the information in one table can be related to another table in some way. In practical terms, it means that you only ever have to store detailed information about an item once in one table.
