Access Databases

I don’t know who’s bright idea it was to include Access in the MSFT Office suite, but they should be shot, hung, quartered and placed on display for anyone thinking about designing an Enterprise Level Application in Access.

What is an Enterprise Level Application? It’s one of those applications that is pertinent to the organization. It being down, corrupted, gone, broke, etc, will cause havoc, panicking and outrage among your user base. Applications that SHOULDN’T be Access Databases are Technical Support Applications, Training Tracking, Customer Databases, etc.

In closing: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - STOP USING ACCESS FOR ENTERPRISE LEVEL APPLICATIONS!
