New databases are always created as MS Access database files. You can export them to a relational database (SQL Server, Oracle), after which you no longer require the MS Access file.
The following procedure describes how to create a new database:
-
On the File menu, in the Data & Report group, select Make.Database.
-
Click Yes to create a new default MS Access database, and specify the name.


-
Select Save.
