I just think you're all damn brave for using Access in the first

Why?

I was tempted to simply reply:

"avoiding using Access is just a rule I have. Why? No good reason. The
access fanboys will argue. I don't care"

....but, hey that sort of sentiment would surely just be peurile, and
discourage useful discussion would it not?

It works and works well. If you have too many users or remote users bolt on a
SQL Server backend. Now you can have thousands of users.

Or I could just use a decent database architecture in the first place
(and I am lucky enough to be able to), that can cope with more that 10
users (I mean 255 *cough*). Thats why I salute your dedication in the
face of all that superior db technology. I mean, we all know that the
client really wants to use oracle, and yet its you that stoutly has to
deal with his corner cutting as best you can.

I certainly don't mean to upset you....Well okay, maybe there's just a
bit of friendly ribbing in there
