I think a lot of you guys are knocking Access for the wrong reasons. Your complaints that Access is not a "real" database ignores the obvious strength of Access, that it is a simple to use program for small workgroup-level applications. In fact, this is ALL Access was ever meant to be. Businesses that are creating mission-critical apps on Access are doing so because they can't afford to do it in another program and/or they find Access easy to use and the "real" databases daunting. But please, don't blame the product for being mis-used. Instead, blame the dearth of easy to use alternatives.
