Access has filters, which are SQL commands that you store.  You can then 
slice them and dice them just like a "real" table.  You aren't having to 
recreate the temp table every time the database starts.  Access, however, 
is not a real production database built to be hit on by a lot of people.  I 
think it's most productively used around the world on downloaded data for 
creating reports on "dead" data.
