Access (verb)
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Good evening. Please read the following sentences:
1. You can access to the data bank.
2. You can access the data bank.
I'm not quite sure whether to use 'to' or not.
Thanks a lot.
Best wishes,
Ms Puzzled

I think it depends on what you mean by data bank; if it's a computer database or any other electronic form of data repository, then I would use access alone without to. If the data bank in question is, for example, a place or building, and you want to express allowance/permition to walking or moving into it, then use access to.

You can access the data bank.
Once you have gained access to it, you simply access it. The noun is often followed by a phrase in "to", the verb, never.
