I've just discovered that I have the program installed in my Microsoft Office bundle of joy. I have never used it. What does it do? What can I create with it?

MS-Access is a DBMS(Database Management System). It can be used to create, alter, query,delete databases. MS-access uses tables which inturn contains tables(tables inturn contains records). The records are the real data. These tables are the place holders for your data. Tables are stored in a file with .mbd file extension. Ms-access can be integrated with other programing languages to act as a back-end(database) such as VisualBasic, Visual C++ etc. It is meant for small scale databases. Microsoft another database application for high end enterprise application known as MS-SQL server.

Microsoft Access is a database program. It lets you create and manage Access databases for use with other programming languages. =) It has its own tools to manage its databases. =)
