You mean Microsoft Access? yes you can, but it may not have full support on SQL, as opposed to Ms SQL Server, one thing I remember was the difference of asterisk used in searching and filtering records, in SQL the asterisk is represented by %, in Ms Access asterisk is represented by * like asterisk in console.

"When you want to retrieve data from a database, you ask for the data by using Structured Query Language, or SQL. SQL is a computer language that closely resembles English that database programs understand. Knowing SQL is important because every query in Microsoft Access uses SQL. Understanding how SQL works can help create better queries, and can make it easier for you to fix a query when it is not returning the results that you want."
