It is one of the Microsoft Office programs, you either have to purchase Microsoft Office Professional or purchase it as a separate item.
Once installed on your computer you start it like any other program in your Start/programs list, if it is on your computer you can open your songs.mdb by right clicking it and selecting "Open With" and it will appear in the list.

I'd say, if you haven't already got it, stay away from it, you can cause more problems to Hoster using it.
If you have Microsoft office Excel version 2007 or above you can open the songs.mdb in that to view it, sort data and print lists.

Bevis - using find and replace in Access is going to be trick as all words have a space between them. I don't think that is going to be an easy task to do either with Access or in the Edit through Hoster. You will need to pay very close attention and approve or skip each one.

Bryant - as Roy has stated Access is a Microsoft Office program. If you don't know what you are doing in it, I also recommend not trying to use it.

To all - the only use you should really make of Access is for viewing your database files, and only by making a copy of the file and view that rather than the original file created by Hoster. The files created by Hoster are done in a very old version of Access engine. If you open it in a newer version of Access the file can get updated and therefore corrupted where Hoster will not work with it correctly.

Was just curious, as I hear about it a lot on here, and seems I don't have it anywhere. I was substitute teaching a computer class the other day and one of the kids mentioned it.

It doesn't come with Windows, Access is a separate add-on program or comes bundles in Microsoft Office Pro. Although some newer versions of Windows Vista & 7 do come with a demo version of Office but I don't believe I saw Access bundled in at least the ones I bought.
