The argument of "most people have access to [MS] Access" is
irrelevant. We are Developers we have access to MySQL (if you don't
have it, it would be worth your while to install it and try it out).
We are not the normal users who does not even know if they have MS
Access on their machines in the first place. So I do not see this
argument lending credence to choosing MS Access.
While yes I can take the MS Access DB file and use it on a *NIX
machine but having no direct access to the DB to affect any change to
it is a big minus in my book. While MySQL can be on Win, Mac or *NIX
machine is big a plus. Not to mention all the other benefits that come
with using MySQL. A forum can be a very highly trafficked area of your
site and MySQL can hold up under that type of use much better. I can
name a few more things but it's nearing end of work the day, brain
starting to fiz and pop.

Well its an ongoing argument whether to use MS product or not. I just
recommended since its a better db than access and free.
