Hi Dirk,
Yes, I agree with everything you say. As I said in my first post, I
am working on a replacement) with PostgreSQL at the back and a web
frontend). That is some months away to completion, though, and they
need a temporary solution *now*.
I was horrified when I learned that they were keeping critical data in
a MS Access database. And even more horrified when I learned that it
was backed up "whenever someone remembers"!

I remember reading severe warnings and dire imprecations about putting
MS Access databases on AFS filesystems, about 5 years ago. Is it still
considered dangerous?
The server is running 1.4.11 on Linux.
The clients are XP (and shortly Win 7), and will shortly be upgraded to
1.5.77
Any advice would be appreciated.
First, I wouldn't consider Access a database, since real database allows
concurrent access etc. Having said that, did you consider putting your
data into a real RDBMS (PostgreSQL, for example) and use Access as a
frontend only (via ODBC)?
HTH...
