Access is not used exclusively in multi user environments and for those without fancy image processing or signal processing software, it can be used to store and process 30 bit image scans and wav files quite nicely as well as log all kinds of high frequency sampled data. For example, if you want to drop a green cast out of the shadows and don't have photoshop, it's a terrific tool, but you can do it in Access too. If you want to reduce or increase the dynamic range of an audio file that was poorly recorded, all you need to do is apply a scaling factor to some numbers with an update query. My Canon D60 with a 5 megapixel ccd shoots typically 20 megabyte raw images and the Olympus P400 dye sub printer prints 7.7 megapixels on A4 paper. Although Access is not as convenient as photoshop, a tool like Access is just another means to manipulate data that encompasses more than merely Names, addresses and phone numbers. No doubt Rocky wouldn't be messing with 2.5 million records without reason and there is no reason to assume that this would necessarily be a multi user environment. Such an assumption in the face of the information given was improbable.
