Oh, I know all about how bad Access is. The fact remains that this is an old, semi-poorly written application (from a maintenance standpoint, not a functional one), which would require LOTS of attention to upgrade to mySQL or SQL Server. With all the billable work piling up around here, I'd like to just leave this app until I can give it the proper time for the upgrade.
All of my apps these days are using a "real" DB. I really am impressed with mySQL lately, though. As Ray Camden wrote in his blog a few days ago, there is a whole world of features that I didn't ever know about. Anyways, thanks for the help guys, it was appreciated.
