Aah, but people using Access for ease of use reasons tend to outgrow
the Jet database engine first, and it's a cinch to take an existing
Access .MDB, export the tables to MySQL, and link the tables. The
users of the app don't know the differnece, since the UI hasn't
changed. It just magically got faster :)
