Now only the fifty people who know TCL/Tk and SQL can maintain your system. Not an improvement.

SQlite it's much easier than Access at the backend. Also, you have tons of experts today everywhere. If you can't properly normalize a database under Access, your company will collapse sooner or later. You can't depend on unstable solutions forever.
On TCL/Tk, it was the quickest and multiplatform example to do a RAD application (or prototyping). You have sqlite3 bindings everywhere.
