Users can import Access database in MS-SQL and access the data using 
Excel with appropriate connector that is available from Microsoft.

MS-SQL Express edition is free for users. It is available for Windows, 
Linux and Docker container. There is a learning curve for people who are 
new to industry class databases but once this is passed, the user would 
be quite happy to use it assuming he has mastery of creating Forms in 
Excel. With forms you can post new entries and also retrieve the entries 
like any databases including Access. There are many tutorials available 
online and on YouTube.
