This sounds exactly what I need.
If I have managed to make myself clearer in my needs, and reason for my
choices, are you able to say whether or not you would choose to use Firebird
(even though forgoing most of the benefits of a true c/s product) over
Access (designed for desktop environments. My reasoning is mostly because I
do not think using Access will produce a good enough groundwork. Using F/B
will increase my knowledge, and ensure my product is forward thinking.

>As for Access being a RDBMS... In short: patchwork.

This is my reasoning for avoiding Access, I wanted something of quality.
