Access is named Access because it lets you access databases. MS Access 
is one of the best frontend tools for databases. In this respect you can 
use it very much in the same way as Base. Unfortunately, 90% of its 
users try to use the built-in JET database engine instead of a 
professional and portable one.

The main difference between Access and Base amounts to a decade of 
development and several millions of Dollars.
