All I know is that it’s a “database management system”, and I don’t even know what that means! I have tried fooling around with Access and have gotten nowhere. Where do I start and what is the purpose of this?

I’ve used Access quite a lot, though not recently.
One strong point is that Access makes it easy to construct a front end for your data. By a ‘front end’, I mean a way for users to interact with the data, including adding new records and modifying information. More sophisticated database programs allow you to create front ends, but the ability is not built into the system–you may have to use another programming language to do it.
