Access is a database, whereas Excel is a spreadsheet. A database is used for manipulating data and lists of data and processing information, like finding all the people born in a certain year, or the amount of people working in each department of a company, or the names of all the captains of a set of football teams. Spreadsheets focus mainly on numerical analysis and manipulation. Databases can work on a much broader range of data. There are a lot of things that both are capable of doing. If it is nearly all numerical, then a spreadsheet is usually better, but if you are looking for different kinds of data, like a list of names and addresses from a set, then it is better to use a database.

When you data from Access to Excel a copy of the data is created in Excel?
You can copy data from Access and paste it directly into Excel. From a table or query, data can be selected and then copied and pasted into Excel. In that case, data changing in the original Access file will not change data in the Excel file. To do that there must be a link between the data. You can also import data from Access into Excel and from Excel into Access, again maintaining a link to the source if you want.
Which is easier Excel VBA or Access VBA?
I would say that there is no differences between Excel VBA and Access VBA. VBA is the acronym for visual basic for application and is the common language for the office suite. Excel vba gives you a native access to excel object (eg a worksheet, a cell, a range, etc.) but object of other applications can be made accessible via configuration (references). Access vba gives you a native access to access object.

No. MS Access is a component of MS Office, but you do not need the other applications (e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) to run Access.

Obviously, if you remove (uninstall) MS Excel from your MS Office collection and delete all your spreadsheets, you will not be able to import Excel data to Access.
Is Microsoft Access better than Microsoft Excel?
Both Excel and Access are capable of doing a lot of things that the other can do. Excel is a spreadsheet application and Access is a database application, so they are used for different things. They are different kinds of applications so they cannot be compared in full, only on certain things. If you want to do a lot of databasing things, while you can do them in Excel, Access is better for it. If you are doing a lot of calculations, then Excel is better although Access can do calculations too. So it depends on what you want to do.

What is a formula in Microsoft Access?
Formulas enable you to do calculations. You can do them in Excel and in Access, along with other applications. You would more associate them with Excel than Access, but Access does have a lot of the functionality that Excel has to carry out calculations, including complex ones and ones that use built-in functions. In Excel you typically use cell references in formulas while in Access you use fields. So a formula to multiply two values could be like this in the two applications: Excel: =A2 * C2 Access: =Sales * Tax

Why do you need Microsoft Access especially if you have Microsoft Excel?
Microsoft Access is a database application and Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application, so they are two different kinds of application. There are things that both can do, but if you want to create a proper database, then Access is better than Excel. It has far more facilities for working with databases than Excel does. Because of that, it is simpler to do lots of things in Access than in Excel. If you want to create a spreadsheet, then that is what Excel is used for, though you can do a lot of things Excel does in Access. If you already have Excel and want to create databases, then you can, but you won't be able to do the really sophisticated things that Access can do and which a really good database needs, such as queries, reports, relationships etc. If you want a really good database that can do those things, then you need Access.
Can you export information from Excel into Access?
Yes, but you would use the Access import option, instead of an Excel export option. You also can use Excel to SaveAs various formats that Access could import, but direct import from Access probably would be the most efficient method. See related links for various options for sharing data between Excel and Access.
