This is... some pretty weird advice.
Learn MS Access first? Really?
First, it's just a database system coupled with macros. That's not the most important thing you'll want to learn if you want to build a startup. The frontend and/or backend logic are the most interesting, not "macros" to run on your database.
Then, VBA is pretty horrible for a beginner and he's probably going to want to deploy his service at some point (and MS solutions are not exactly the easiest to deploy for a beginner)

Yes, really.
He needs to learn the fundamentals.
Read my post again and see the points I made.

I've was able to deploy an MS Access database on Sharepoint in about 5 minutes.
