What are other's experience with MS Access?

In our shop we avoided it like the plague.
We only used it when we absolutely had to.
Weekly, or more frequently, we would erase
and recreate our marketing department's
MS Access (XP, 15,000 items, 2,500 customers,
daily shipments) database because of corruption.

Access seemed to function for small, lightly-
used dbs, but would often break for large,
heavily-used dbs.  We mostly used Oracle, but
it was an expensive, resource-hungry solution.

I sure miss HP's Turbo-Image.  It was fast,
lean, and reliable.
