I'm coming into this on the tail end, so I didn't see the original
message. I wouldn't recommend Access for anything that will be used in
production, particularly now that SQL Sever Express (2005 lite) is
available.
Back when it wasn't available I designed my SQL Abstraction library to
work with Access (along with MySQL, SQL Server & Oracle). So if for some
reason you had problems installing one of the other 3, if you were using
the onTap framework (or something like it) that abstracts the database
access and were pretty monogamous about not using ad-hoc queries, then
you could use an MS Access database locally for minimal development and
testing to create a proof of concept and all your code would then still
work for the other databases.
But I agree that you really wouldn't want to use an Access database
beyond the larval stages. I personally prefer using SQL 2005 on my
notebook. The new SQL Server Management Studio that replaced Enterprise
Manager + Query Analyzer is imo in some ways a step back from the older
tools in spite of some minor improvements to the interface. Still, at
least for my purposes it seems easier to manage than MySQL.
