Microsoft Access has had a rich history. Version 1.0 was the initial version of Access that ran on Windows 3.1. It was very quickly replaced by Version 1.1, which added a few new features and fixed many of the bugs introduced in the initial version. At this point in the history of Access, no one really took Access seriously as a database; it was buggy, there were a number of limitations in its feature set, and the database community just hadn’t accepted that Microsoft could produce a quality database product.
