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.

The flat file is pretty simple: Each major category of data (e.g. Employees) is contained in a single file. If that employee can have multiple phone numbers, the flat file has to be set up with space for each possible number (home, work, cell, pager, etc). (Unlike what the original answer said) you can set up basic links between flat files (e.g. on an employee id), but flatfile databases are not set up for working with multiple files at once.
