Fist. I know very little about using dedicated realationdatabase in GIS. I not sure about why ESRI support mdb then they quiet strongly recommend you NOT to use it.
http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?topicname=types_of_geodatabases I think to hold files in a directory (folder) are a very sheep price compared to slow performance limited storage to max 2 GB. Does anyone know if there may be other problems with MS Access files? Missed seached data and so on?
