Access had the capability to use a full-blown SQL Server back end, while retaining 90% of the flexibility on the front end. For example, adding a column in Access would add a column in the database table!
We can have our cake and eat it too.
The mistake with Access was that instead of keeping a deathgrip on its legacy file-based roots, it ought to have "grown up" and become a web-native HTML5 app that uses SQL Server back-ends as the only option.
I still think there's a huge market for something like this.
