> fired up Access. In the spare time I had here and there I put together a database everyone could use at once, input once… until Access became too limiting (I honestly can't remember why now)…

Didn't Access have a 20-or-so-simultaneous connections limitation? I guess it depends on how old the version. Yes, I tried using Access on a website once (Lowers head in shame).

I think you're right, but we were only a team of eight or so, so we never hit that issue. I also remember using two different files - one for data and another for the UI - that made it all work better. Sadly the details are lost to time now...

I miss Access. Superb RAD tool. Especially for small biz type solutions where you are replacing pen and paper, or "dunno".
