If you move at all look seriously at MSDE (MS SQL7)
Reading between the lines that's what MS want you to replace Access DB's
with

Subject: [DUG]: Access v Paradox
Hi All,
The current project I'm working on has an existing Access db containing a
dozen or so tables. I've worked with pdox in the past with reasonable
success, but as with most MS products, I'm a bit cautious about Access.
Specifically;
1. Too many eggs, not many baskets. Being a single flat file, if you get
that screwed up, you lose everything. Or do you? With Pdox, at least the
various table data is isolated in separate files, so recovery is more
probable...
2. What's the stability like? How vulnerable are Access dbs to corruption?
Are there good tools to fix them?
3. Speed with large dbs - as the files grow, does paradox have (or lose) an
edge?
TIA,
Terry
