No, no, no. You don't build your database using Access. You use Access with link tables to keep an eye on your database, and do ad-hoc queries when a problem arises. You use it with a read-only database user, for production data. You can use it to fiddle with Development data when you're testing something. It's like TOAD, but it's free when you're in a Windows shop.

It's just a frontend. You don't actually use it as a database!
