Access is no walk in the park if you exploit the capablilities of the VBA language because it is pretty expansive but there is no denying it is widely used. If you throw away the database engine and replace it with the Big R, then you would have something. It is pitiful the DB doesn't measure up to the scope of the VBA language that goes with it. It is ok from the Desktop Rolodex usage, but if you peruse the Access NGs, whenever someone posts complaining of performance issues with 10 or 12 users or 25 to 30,000 record tables, the resounding responses are to tell the person to upsize to SqlServer.
