Going from the other Access support on here, there are certain situations
when Access is usable... it's free (on the server, while it costs for the
user end), while SQL Server costs in excess of $3k for an Internet server...
and it runs OK as long as you don't speak to too many tables
(simultaneously), then it should run perfectly well...
Then again, for larger sites, or multi-sited servers, then it'd be stupid to
try to host it via Access...
There are definitely cases when one piece of software is more useful than
the other... it's horses for courses...
That's my $.02, like it or not...
