    NO, NO, NO!

    This article talks about using Access as a back-end.

    This is NOT true. Access IS NOT A BACKEND, OR EVEN A DATABASE. Access is
    only a FRONT END application. The database is JET / SQL. Access uses JET by
    default, but can use SQL. JET is very slow for network lookups. It was only
    designed for single-station use.

    Besides, we already know anything M$ does is going to be bloated.

    hehehe

    B-)
