I agree. I've always wondered why so many CF developers love to use Access for projects. It's not free, and it's wasn't designed for concurrency. I know the latest versions are better, but I'd still avoid it. MySQL is free and is awesome at handling large loads, and has no size restrictions on your hardware. If you're afraid of trying something new, you could by Ben Forta's book MySQL Crash Course: http://www.forta.com/books/0672327120/ If you insist on Microsoft products, you can get SQL Server Express for free, although it has hardware limitations (1 CPU, 1 Gig RAM). So why use Access? I don't know, but lots of folks continue to do it everyday... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
