Does anyone in IT even know what a database is any more? I feel like every single thread about databases results in one single discussion explaining what a database is. And has anyone ever used Access knowing what it is? I feel like the one requirement of using Access is that you have no idea what you chose or why.

Look at the second screenshot. If you didn't know anything, "Blank Desktop Database" would make you think you're creating the database with Access; thus making you believe you have an "Access Database."
You are MAKING IT with Access. Access isn't it. It's like mistaking the paint brush for the painting.
I understand and agree. I'm just giving you the thought process of someone that "didn't know anything."

Literal excerpt from a ticket.
Need your assistance with the following connection for the equipment to be delivered and installed Dec. 09 Due to the built-in servo amplifier and frequency converter the machines can not be connected directly to an IT network. The IT network must be converted to a TN-S network by an isolating transformer. The machine is connected to the TN-S network. This is going to a manufacturing machine, but can anybody shed some light as to what I am looking at here? -
Definitely doesn't look or sound like Access is the database in any way. It looks like a tool for making databases, which is exactly how MS describes it on the right. And they point out that Access can connect to many databases, including cloud ones. Making it extra clear that Access isn't the database.

Even if they don't know anything, it never looks like it is the database. People using Excel don't confuse Excel the application with the spreadsheet files. Why is Access getting confused in this really weird way?

You sure about that? I'd guess over half of my users say they have Excel spreadsheets rather than spreadsheets.

Okay good. I'm not the only one thinking that.

Because, the flux capacitor can only be put in with a left-handed screw driver. Most people don't have those.

You're getting a raw deal. My vendor said my flux capacitor can be installed with both types of screw drivers.

I think your vendor is just trying to make a sale...

That is electrical terminology. TN-S is the typical 2 wire plus ground standard in the US. It has nothing to do with networking. To confuse things, they do use the term network to mean electrical network.

So by "IT network" and "network", what they really meant was electrical sockets and electrical network?
No wonder they submitted an IT ticket.
Their vendor has no idea whey they are saying.

This thing is going to put out the motherload of interference and it will scramble the shit out of any standard RJ45. Please help.

Turns out that he literally asked for everything backwards. Everything he wanted to migrate he didn't mention, and everything he wanted to keep the same he said he wanted to migrate!

I was just about to post today's gem, when another, greater gem appeared.
Ticket: Person called office; entered X extension; rather than dialing X extension call was routed back to the main IVR.
Resolution: Disabled X's extensions's call forwarding which was setup to forward their calls to our toll-free number, which is answered by the main IVR.
