I am creating an instructional deck regarding an Access database in Power Point and would like to use screens from Access as a visual aid. How do I copy a screen from Access as a picture into Power Point?

Open up both programs, switch to Access and open up the screen you wish to
copy, press ALT-PRINTSCREEN to capture the image, switch to PowerPoint to
the desired slide, click the "Edit" menu, select "Paste Special, and select
the JPG option if possible, or some picture option (usually the default
one). As long as you don't have a lot of graphics to copy over this will
work fine.
If you have a lot of images to copy over, you might need to do this
intermediate step - Copy your image just like mentioned above, open
Microsoft photo Editor, click "Edit", "Paste as new image". Click "File",
"Save as" and save it as a jpg image. Once all are copied over, switch to
PowerPoint to the desired slide and click "Insert", "Picture", "From file"
and browse to where you saved your images and insert them each onto slides.
If you do a "copy and paste" of a lot of images your PowerPoint file size
will grow immensely. The first option above keeps the file size down some
(Copy, Paste Special), but the bottom options keeps the file size the
smallest!
Hope this helps!

That'll make the images smaller but might also cause some parts of them to
"grow hair" -- oddball compression artifacts. If so, use PNG instead.
