What language did Microsoft use to create Access 2007?

[mondo3]

I was wondering what language they use to develop their languages...ie: is access itself created with a language like c?

I'd wager that like many long-running products out there, they're a mixture of languages, perhaps mainly C/C++, with sprinkling of other languages for specific functionality.

Why?

it must be created with a language that gets very close to machine code - for efficiency - and i would expect quite a bit is in inline machine code/assembly language.

I am sure you definitely could not do this in any language without access to a pointer data type. (such as VB/VBA)
