Access is considered a joke because it tries to do too many things, each of which, poorly. It encourages bad practices such as co-mingling of data, business logic, and presentation. It employs a lock-in strategy, no wonder so many people are having trouble escaping it. And sorry, but the elaborate misuse of Access was part of the marketing. Yes, you can read where it is designed to run with 256 concurrent users or that it is secure etc.
You hear, ' I can't move to oo cause I got all this access code/data/reports'. Do you ever hear 'geez, I would migrate from mysql to postgres if there was only a way...' No. Take this as a lesson.
