It did allow it but getting it running reliably was basically getting punched in the face on a daily basis. Act! Was similar except they included getting kicked in the balls two to three times a week.
The reason access was popular was it made any middle manager that could wield an Excel spreadsheet think they could build a database.

I have a sales guy buddy with a 50K contact database in Act! that runs a Win95 VM to maintain access to this data. I've tried to figure out how to migrate it, but it is more than a few hours and who has that kind of time?
