Microsoft Excel on the other hand is a spreadsheet program, it is usually used to display data and work out calculations in the form of tables and graphs, it also has a more integrated use of macros. So basically, Access stores data, Excel calculates and displays data.   ANS2:Access creates relational databases.
MS Query gives Excel users the ability to access 3rd party databases, text files, and Excel workbooks as relational data sources. With text files, you can place them all in one folder to form a database. With Excel, you define several named ranges in a single workbook, and then use the ranges as database tables. MS Query doesn't give you many of the built-in features of a real database query program, such as Microsoft Query Analyzer or TOAD from Quest.
