Steve - it's not *that* bad ;-)  - for an average sized application.


I've used it with ColdFusion and PHP on pretty busy sites. The usual


networking gotchas in Access (locking) are avoided as PHP (or CF)


handles/buffers the requests.



Sometimes, the client insists on keeping the DB in its native format


(and maybe swaps the whole file over periodically).  It can end up


quicker.



The only real downside I find is the weird Access time/date format.



Adam.
