5 people connected at one time. Microsoft has a "built in throttle" (their
words, not mine, at a seminar I attended) that kicks in when the 6th person
tries to connect. This throttle dramatically slows down response time.
They claim that if you have more than 5 users you need to go to SQL
Server, and that the only way they can insure that Access acts reliably
with 6 users is to slow the performance down. I can't believe that's true,
I'm sure it's just a neat way of selling more SQL Server.

I am finding myself being required to justify the use of Rbase instead
of Access at this Univ. Apparently just saying it's way better, see for
yourself doesn't cut it.
I am looking for some help in examples of why Rbase is better and that
is does use a real programming language and a list of major
organizations that are using rbase. I know Razzak is doing work for the
FBI and believe the US Navy. Others?
Thanks much.
