Just to balance out the conversation, a couple years ago we had developed an e-commerce site which was to be prototyped in Access, then moved to SQL Server for production. The client decided that they didn't want to pay for the move to SQL Server, so we launched with Access as the backend. The database had tables containing from several hundred records, to over 100,000 records. The site grew in popularity and regularly recieved 10s of thousands of page views per day, each page having up to 10 or 15 database queries. Before moving to MS SQL Server a year later, we never had a single problem with Access. Not one. Now, that's not *huge* traffic, and I wouldn't recommend trying it today, but it certainly suprised me. -- Jack Baty Fusionary Media ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Tyrone Mills" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 11:43:51 -0700 >Sounds like you could be a reference site for Microsoft!!
