Could you solve this problem by adding logging logic to your application?

The unsuitability of Access for web applications is hardly an "urban
legend". This has nothing to do with the Access application, and everything
to do with the granularity of locking within Access databases, which is a
function of the JET engine used by any application that works with Access
databases. While you are more likely to encounter these problems with large
databases, they certainly exist with Access databases of any size.

With the availability of free database servers that don't have these
problems, there are few reasons to stick with Access for web applications.
