I'm not a great user of Access, but in Excel you have the Data, Import External data, import option which you can setup a link to any data source. Am sure that there is an equivalent in Access?
Yes. You can retrieve data from Microsoft Access with a SAS module that has been named Access to PC File formats. This works fine in plain SAS and more comfortably using Enterprise Guide.
I hope this will help.
