>> When I was a recruiter I don't remember any companies with hundreds of thousands using Access...

No, there are not, because it is weak. Not scalable at all, but weak before you even get to that issue. Just really lousy software. Borland had the far better product with Paradox (and later, Paradox for Windows). But as usual, MSFT gave away enough copies of Access to drive them out. Hell, Borland couldn't even afford to sue 'em.

But Access really doesn't have enough of a following to keep people on Windows. Never has had.
