Hi :) http://www.lasa.org.uk/aims/choosing-the-right-package/
Just under the bullet-points it claims " You can purchase AIMS Core which allows up to 15 concurrent users. This version of AIMS is available in either Access or SQL versions. " So it's a bit unclear whether the Access version is using the normal jet-engine or Microsoft SQL Server as it's back-end. Either way i think there is a potential problem at being able to run their front-end, or use another front-end, on non-MS platforms such as Android tablets, Macs, iPads. I suspect the Firebird back-end is more likely to be faster and more compatible with more platforms.
