DBs are like programming languages... they all have their place.
And everyone has their favorite...
I do like Access, and use it a lot... it probably is not the best, but the
price is right (other than the free ones).
Also.. I have asked the N1MM folks to put in a change to allow "on the fly"
county changes for GQP so rovers can make one big file instead of handling
30-50 files.
The change is under consideration and does not preclude separate files, but
it probably does give rise to a DB change.
This is better for my score work and I think rovers would benefit from this
as an option.

There are two ways to look at it... I wouldn't say Access is a very robust
database but for this that's not the issue. It is accessable via sql to
manipulate the data.. Which can be handy. We not talking hundreds of users and
millions of records.

That would seem like a huge negative to me....
