I've used Access for over 5 years now and judging by the latest release, I
say Microsoft has made a huge jump in terms of usability and development. It
also has a new Jet database engine which allows it to connect to the latest
version of SQL Server.
If your an organisation with around 200 employees, Access is a good choice in
terms of licensing costs and speed of development.
I don't think MS Access is good enough to be used anywhere. SQL always is
better. MS Access could only be used for interface, like in libraries, but there
Excel would be enough...
With the new 2007 version, Access has finally been done justice by Microsoft.
Making custom databases is super-duper easy - with all the most commonly used
ones already available as templates. It also made some decision-making easy when
I was about to buy another software for inventory management. Needless to say, I
went for Access.
Access is good but its complexity at the start has the capacity to make grown men cry.
Faz maravilhas, traz resultados e facilita os processos de todos!
i prefer use access! MS SQL is too big for my projects!

Well to be honest I only used it for school. I prefer the way the 2003 interface works better than 2007 databases (both ran on 2007 version).
Programming forms and accessing a simple database should not be this difficult. I find it easier to program in C# and SQL-Server then this software.
The interface is a little outdated.
Performance is interesting, don't blame it, considering it is built to allow for multitude of changes from different users at a time.
Think it might be a little over value, but considering it is suppose to be aimed at non-tech business personnel it does it job very well.
want to be friends
its not bad
