Access is horrible in a multiuser environment and will hag due to
locking issues.
I do not use the word Database with Access - having worked with it in
the past!
MySQL IMHO being a RDatabaseMS has few locking issues and is designed
for a multiuser environment, something which access was not.
As an aside 128 meg of RAM is not alot for a W2k server - RAM being
cheap you may wish to upgrade it.
