Thanks for all the recommendations. At the risk of putting my inexperience on display, here goes my reasoning for the csv:
The login csv that I use has some 30,000 users in it which amounts to a 1.4MB file. However, not all of the users in the file are expected to be actual users of the application. In a nutshell, the application is a book review database/forum for high school kids -- strictly voluntary. So, after the initial login, a user's record in inserted into the main record set (Access) and associated with any post the user submits. I might be way off the mark here, but it's my understanding that Access is a fairly lightweight db engine and large chunks of data (the 1.4MB student db) will slow it down. Does this make sense?
