Perhaps MS Access is not the best product for this application but believe me,
it is an extremely powerful database application especially in my work
environment where I specialize in complex report writing. If you're going to
import ten million rows of data daily, you'll need SQL Server or somesuch. If
you're working with 4 thousand rows of new data per month then Access is the
way to go. It's all about using the right tool for the right job.Edwin
