Note that I don't care for MS Access either (most of my work is done with Oracle on Unix), but we have a relatively medium (20-30MB, which is nothing compared to what we do under Oracle) Access database shared that 30-50 people routinely enter, update and pull reports from. I don't think we've ever had an issue with data corruption... Maybe we were using a more stable version of the software or something, or maybe network problems corrupted your database... strange.
