Hi

Hi Mattys,

Everything I have read says that Access can only handle 5 concurrent users. The database size limit is also 2 GB. The locking for multiple users is also much better on SQL Server.

So if you have the budget, and are worried about these 2 factors I would buy SQL Server.

Hope this helps,

John
