Some people love Access, though I think you need a degree in programming to get anywhere.
Have you looked at Filemaker or Alpha 5 databases, they are a lot easier to use, and have better built in functionality (easy to use).
The problem of Access is that they built it for advanced users who already know VBA and other coding. They built it for professionals.
Other database platforms have built in queries in simple language without having to code the entire thing from scratch.
All you need to do is plan your database, it doesn't necessarily have to be relational, it can be flat file like excel.
