JET stands for Joint Engine Technology, sometimes being referred to as Microsoft JET Engine or simply Jet. Microsoft Access and Visual Basic use or have used Jet as their underlying database engine. It has since been superseded for general use, however, first by Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE), then later by SQL Server Express. Jet is now part of Microsoft Windows and is no longer a component of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC). For larger database needs, Jet databases can be upgraded (or, in Microsoft parlance, "up-sized") to Microsoft's flagship database product, SQL Server

With version 2007 onwards, Access includes an Office-specific version of Jet, initially called the Office Access Connectivity Engine (ACE), but which is now called the Access Database Engine. This engine is fully backward-compatible with previous versions of the Jet engine, so it reads and writes (.mdb) files from earlier Access versions. It introduces a new default file format, (.accdb), that brings several improvements to Access, including complex data types such as multivalue fields, the attachment data type and history tracking in memo fields. It also brings security and encryption improvements and enables integration with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is the programming language for Microsoft Office and its associated applications. You use it for the same reason you use macros—to tie the objects in your application together into a coherent system. The difference is that VBA provides more power and a finer degree of control than you get by using macros alone.

VBA is a modern programming language that strongly resembles most of the popular, structured programming languages. If you're a Pascal or C programmer, you'll find all the program structures you're used to—loops, If...Then...Else statements, Select Case statements, functions, and subroutines—with only superficial differences. With all its improvements from earlier versions of Basic, VBA retains its English-like flavor and ease of use.
