Access is considered a developer's tool rather than a typical application program because you are developing software for others to use. It requires a higher level of planning and accuracy. One way to understand this is to consider what grade you would get for a Word document with table shading that was not quite the right level of gray resulting in a score of 95%. You would likely get a usable document with an A grade. What do you suppose the same person might get if they created a payroll database that resulted in 95% of employees being paid properly?
