Simplest comments: Access = Desktop Application mySQL = Server Application The main thing you'll have to consider is that Access has SEVERE problems when more than one user goes into get/add some data, while mySQL will handle that properly There are a couple of restrictions on mySQL, but they're mostly compared to the bigger database engines like SQL Server and Oracle - it's DEFINITELY better than using Access Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited T: +44 (0)20 8680 1133 F: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
