Is Microsoft access a database or a spreadsheet?

No it is not. However, there are a lot of things that both a database and a spreadsheet can do, so Access does have some capabilities to do what a spreadsheet can. Spreadsheets focus on numeric analysis and manpulation, so mostly concentrate on numbers. Databases deal with processing lists of data, some of which would be numeric, but it works with a lot of other kinds of data. Microsoft Access is a database and that is what it is designed to be, so it is not a spreadsheet.
