I was dismissing it because there are better, faster, simpler tools out 
there that are equivalent in cost and cheaper when distributed. And, 
referentiaql integrity is only maintained if you check all the right 
boxes and know about the holes that exist and correct for them. And 
record and page level locking is such a mess that I will never trust it, 
having been lied to by MS on so many occasions on the subject. They say 
it works, and then you find out the list of exceptions and so forth and 
so on, and so often, it is not in your control. The Jet engine was 
borrowed from Fox technology when they bought that company, and has been 
sadly neglected ever since. I really hate to trust MS on anything about 
Access.
