Access isn't quite that bleak but you aren't far off:P I think the hardest I have pushed a .mdb is 80 megs. Generating rollup reports for an 80 meg DB took about 15 minutes:P Although, at 10 megs it ate the reports for lunch. Keep in mind, I was never interfacing with the DB through the MSAccess application. I bet MS Access is not happy trying to refresh screens *shudder*.
Access can also handle a fair number of connections at once. I can guess that I have had somewhere between 10 - 20 people on at once. I don't think I would trust it with much more though.
I love your point about garbage! The first time I learned about that I was wondering where all my drive space was going when someone asked me when the last time I compacted my DB was.
