You can't run an Access database alone for something that 20 or 30 people are using all day long. You need to scale it up to run the back-end on SQL Server or something comparable... but Access is perfectly fine for the front-end, even on large projects.

I've seen it so many times at my old job. Someone gets asked to make something so they can track "Only one or two people will use it". 6 months later, there's 10 people using it, and it's tracking a bunch of things. another 12 months later and they're running multi million dollar projects out of this thing and Access is losing data left right and centre.
